Reminiscent of a birth from the womb. This existential birth into a surreal world of observers with no understanding and no empathy where born naked one is who they are totally naive and ignorant in a new world. As for the clown others may laugh but they are the fools. A striking poem that forms thoughts in figures, numbers, shapes or lettering new to the eye. Most creative my friend.

This reminds me of the Ferris Bueller quote \"life moves pretty fast. You don\'t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.\" We can spend hours of our lives with existential dread, with questions that may never be answered, but in the end, what really matters is how well we spent the time we knew we did have. Thanks for sharing! β¨π

Existentialism at its finest? What it oddly triggered in me was John Paul Jones message to General Washington: \"We have met the enemy and they are ours.\" But when I tried to begin that comment I couldn\'t see why or how on earth that made any sense with your latest, whence I deleted that comment. Just so you know. We seem indeed to have the moment wherein we stand, if that\'s what you\'re saying; and forsooth, let us live as we should...in the fear of the LORD, if only. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a none too subtly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

It would top off the picture well to have a scale on the desk! It only takes one sin to fall, to fail. But there is certainly a difference between acceptance and defiance.

\"Compassion has an expiration date.\" What a line! It\'s all too true...the people are willing to help...until they aren\'t.

\"...vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.\" (Ecc 1:2) And whom but the poets to echo that while man seems to chase his tail madly, deluded by dreams of grandeur which eventually leave him chagrined. Excellently rendered with haunting imagery and a damning poignancy.
