The Sane Age

Fränz Müller

We crumble beneath the heavy weight

Of the mighty modern age, where

Stress cracks, like fine lace, grace man’s surface;

Today, we dream of tomorrow

And tomorrow, we long for the next.

While such visions drive the weary forth

Like oxen under the whip

It leaves no one guarding the gates

It sets the ship adrift!

Watching all this from the sidelines

I let out a deep sigh, close my eyes

And long for the days when we were sane…

    When the burden is heavy we dream and I love the last line for sanity is determined by a point of view. Very nice
