Cyclicity of Regret

Noise

Chaos

Directional mayhem

Stifled Emotional Intelligence.

Such goes the classrooms of life behavior

Finding teachers and students

Arguing the merits of our upcoming era

Whether to embrace fear and regret

Or address every moment with a carpe diem trust?

Might many be abandoning constructive thinking and behaving

All together

Finding themselves suspended beneath the strings of degenerate power

Masquerading at times as a theocracy.

Is it not possible

That in today’s world

Manipulation comes in many forms

Generated from those

Who need to control the regrets of many

In order to appease and deny their own distress?

Abandoning self-respect

Is to risk becoming puppetized and manipulated

By a triumvirate or duumvirate of leadership

Offering us not even the kind of love and care

A moppet

A Howdy-Doody

A Punchinello

Or a much-adored Elmo

Big Bird

Or Cookie Monster receives.

Yes…

The cyclicity of regret

Could be upon us because

We perhaps made the wrong decision

Common sense dictated turn left, but right was chosen

A pause when the light was green

Then pushing on through the obvious red light

Resulting in a tangled collision of will vs reluctance.

Lest we forget…

Life comes with no guarantees

Excepting your mortality accepting death in due time.

Life hovers our existence over possibilities

And like the light and dark nature of our twenty-four-hour cycles

Gives us varied choices

Resulting in openness or closedness,

Acceptance or rejection

Living or dreading

Becoming

Or

Rejecting

The cyclicity of regret
