… “all points lead no where” …

there are many points in life to
wander. Yet farther down the road
in each direction there stands multiple
obstacles to traverse.

Now there is something to ponder …
… not all things in life are easy to obtain.

At least, not anything worthwhile that is,
so I hear … and I sit there and this figure
appears. Scythe in hand and I figure this
to be the Reaper come to collect upon my
life debt.

… he’s only here to pass the time as well.

My friend, Death … now there’s a jolly chap,
he laughs heartily as he tells a joke about
three men in a bar. I’ve heard it before yet
coming from him it gives me a chuckle.

This is one for the memoirs for sure …

Could it be that the figure with the scythe is there to rid you of the roads not to go down? ;-)

truth in the words that there are always many decisions out there.

thanks for sharing!

I never read anything like this but I like it, at this point life seems meaningless and not worth the struggle.
