Inertia

johnofessex

Slow progression through this life

wading deep through treacle

every bit of progress

slower than a turtle

I make a little headway

and see the light ahead

as fast as I am going

glue sticks me where I tread

my optimism fading

as my spectrum clouds to grey

I'm stuck fast I can't get past

concrete inertia till my dying day
