The Grater You

Buddy had been through the grinder all right.

Argued for his weakness.

His whole damn life seemed needless.

But good and bad, he always had

Free will to choose

To win or lose

But no, circumstance chose for him.

He couldn’t control that

Much as he tried.

He fought, he resisted

But in the end cried

“Why the hell me, Lord?”

The Lord replied

Nothing. Nada. She only sighed.

Cause should the Lord save you

You will not save yourself

And the victim in you will drown.

…………

This life is like a cheese grater. It’ll chew us up and spit us out in a different format that we must continuously reassemble.

Re-assembly can occur automatically via reintroduction to familiar culture but culture shock may also cause PTSD and the inability to reassemble after being shredded by uncontrollable circumstances.

Much of what I write will be quite understandable to insane folks.

The rest will be, uh, less understandable...
