De Struggle

Buddy was a striver, a diver of the deep.

Buddy dive so deep, bugger up his sleep.

What have I done now? he’d say.

So much easier to pray.

Pray that someone helps him out.

And shit’s so bad his help needs clout.

Problem solver extraordinaire.

Buddy shrugs like he don’t care.

He knows problems always there.

They exist to coax and dare

Can you lay your thinking bare?

Or stuck one one solution?

Minutiae service station.

Buddy now saw relationships

Between the problems

And their solvers.
