So here I am watching the glorious sun go down,
My mind at crossroads and utterly confused.
Drinking a few cold beers and I begin to frown,
Thinking why does my soul feel so fucking bruised.

I tried calling a couple of my friends this afternoon
But the phone dials out before answering machine.
So I look at my furbabies, one a prince , one a buffoon
Yet their unconditional love ekes higher than caffeine.

I know my place in this world is yet to be determined
For I know my contribution to society is not finished.
My working life upended but the future is uncertained
With my destiny unknown and thoughts diminished.

My problems are very minimal in world weighted by bricks
With so much going on in the world and here in Australia.
Lives lost...
