I was thinking today about the ennui so prevalent in today's culture. If you are looking for something to complain about, you are absolutely certain to find it. It requires some effort to achieve a happy outlook on life, and most people don't make it. Most people take the path of least resistance. Far too many people today don't make the steps to make their life more fulfilling one. I wrote the following poem about living:
Living is an Action Verb
This is a world of action,
not for moping and droning in.
Not a world for the fat
And inert, the lazy,
The slow and apathetic,
Indifferent, neutral,
Sluggish, soggy, torpid
Stagnant languorous slugs.
Build a house, Plow a field,
Write a song, catch a fish,
Bake a cake, ride a bronc,
Run a mile or a marathon,
Make a difference. Join
The human race today!
