THE TRAGEDY…

‘Slaves to the rhythms’
He, she
You and me,
We only human…
We’re no weaker
than our greatest strengths
And only as strong
as our greatest achievement…
Restrictions within the walls
For cause and effect,
Their blend of fact and fiction
Every system teaches
it is noble to be brave
And that only the strong survive,
But in the game of life
It is the cunning who continue…
For every win someone must fail
To stimulate the mind of a child
they say competition is healthy,
‘Run – run
you’re running out of time’
But then what is the cure
for the addiction?
To what avail
after their ego swells?
Is depression not waiting at the door
When another smarter, stronger
and better zaps away the crown?
Around the cycle of life
Is it or is it not
The curse of mankind that –
Not many will have a second chance
to repeat, compete and complete…
Though nothing stays the same
Perspective sees what it sees
through these ever changing times,
While we’re dancing to the ‘rhythms’
It is believed
that the Earth gets angered
When she hears the blood of innocence
desperately crying out for justice
Evidently,
When the plans of man
opposes the harmony of nature
Mother nature she rebels
in multiples of 3’s and 7’s…
Tragedy,
So much tragedy,
ours – theirs – his and hers,
Pride and prejudice
By far could be
the greatest tragedy of humanity,
The rise and fall of it all
In the end
Who wins?…

Very thought provoking piece Bradley.
Yes it Jenna, yes it yes.
So many things came to mind as I was reading about the tragedies.
This is such a relevant piece that I’ve held back for a while. This is the correct time to release it. It still shakes me up when I read it too much.
As a reader, if I didn’t know better I’d say the writer was depressed. If only they knew that he’s just smiling to himself, watching and listening…
I never know what is really going on with you when you write, so mysterious, but that is a good thing. Keeps me coming back for more.
Lol…I;m thinking about those old Chinese movies. You are talking about martial arts, right?
This is actually from a Japanese film, but yeah. I think they called it Baby Cart Assassin out here but in Japan it is Kozure Ōkami (lone wolf and cub)
The real tragedy is the Yagyu Five Wheels Technique…
