Introduction: “You gonna sleep tonight?” I-dunno!

“Will you wake up tomorrow?” I dunno!

“If so, how will you feel!?” I dunno!

Will you be-expected “to bow-and-scrape” to-The-World if-it-wants?

Yup! [Why?] ‘Cause – what life’s taught is: I’m-a-dunce!

And I can be “knocked over with a feather” and simply lose it all,

For, the guarantees ain’t got no guarantees – even for-St.-Paul!

“ANGST!” a poem a.k.a.: “Peter & Paul Won’t Help You Either!” 27 August 2019 (Tuesday)

“GUARD what you cherish well!”

This I’ve-heard THEM sometimes tell;

“When-you find THAT PERFECT “One,” Who gives you pleasure, joy and fun, Just guard that something!” GOOD advice?

Isn’t guarding good!? Won’t-that KEEP-IT-nice?

“PUT ALL-YOUR-‘EGGS’ INTO THIS BASKET,

AND GUARD-IT,” even if you’re in your casket?!

You-could: take IT – to Heaven! and get St. Peter,

To-let-you-IN-with-your-basket! You’ll-be A NOTABLE LEADER,

Demonstrating your prowess! at guarding valu-‘bles!

Hopefully, your treasure has-no water sol-u-bles!*

SO, I WANT TO GUARD “YOU” TO KEEP YOU SAFE!

Faith’s pretty important! Yeah, I’m aw-ful-ly “braf(v)e,”

But THE EXTENT of my guarding’s proportional-to-my-fa-i-th!

How safe [REALLY!?] can-I-keep-IT! Perhaps, we-should pray-eth,

Believing THAT-guarding**-will-help? in-This World of ours?

The net result of MY experience? It’s kind-of like cars:

“No-matter-HOW-careful-you-are, the-car-gets scratched or crashed!”

EXPERIENCES-CAN-BE-PAINFUL, as The World has dashed,

All hopes and dreams time-and-again as-IT-sees-fit,

So, SURE! GUARD Ye Ol’ Basket – but JUST-A-LITTLE-BIT!

I got me – ANGST towards any World,

That-LOVES-to “pull the rug out” just-to-see-us [GET] TWIRLED!
