Re-PATH-riation!


Deeply cloudy above me is the sky
or is it that I’m already high
my food is finally here I heaved a sigh
I’m so famished I can’t lie

My head is so light no thoughts cross my heart,
my stomach is so empty I can’t afford to fart,
even my eye lids I can’t, for a second, bat!
On my own and alone I just sat,
passing on the road is a pretty cat,
searching patiently to pounce on the next rat,
with the precision of a flying dart!

It’s amazing how life unfolds,
and the things in my life that are on-hold,
semblance between me and the cat on the road!
It’s no news that I’m getting old,
but myself I still don’t scold,
about things I normally should've been bold,
things that grip me like a freezing cold,
ways of life that on them I seem sold,
and are obvious I need not be told,
I mean these days I sound just like a toad!

It’s also no news that I’m blessed.
He has been good to me I must stress,
Yet I go around looking all stressed,
Cos from the true path I’ve digressed,
And tonight again I realise there's need for redress
