Deceived

However hard he had tried,
He hadn’t managed to outfox
Life, this life he’d expected and
Hoped would be perfect. No
Bumps on the road, no pesky
Inconveniences that would deflect
Him from his path, so that
He’d be able to exist in peace and
Quiet, and constant joy, just
Savour whatever he would taste.
So now he crumples, his old age
And illnesses proof that he’d
Been deceived all along, by
Everything and everyone.
