Brace for a Change
When you’re down on your luck
even down to your last buck,
fate will soon snuff out any shame
If you’re a corporate exec or
a mainstream defector,
by adjusting you win the game
Should you strum Stratocasters
or follow yogi masters,
it’s all in the way that you play
Albeit things won’t come easy
without a little touch of whimsy,
“through roughest day, come what come may”
Whether you’re a lifelong student
or just finding things convoluted,
life’s a constantly evolving exchange
but no one’s bound to the same traps
– indeterminate be these haps –
so, trust the winds will rearrange
About this poem
Eventually, in most cases, the blips on our respective radars or any things that seem worth stressing about go in a different direction, as it seems even the long-game worries can't sustain. Truly, life's 'happenings' aren't permanently fixed —which, with the more life you live, the more you experience this phenomenon. Thus, to everything (turn, turn, turn).
