Double standards

Whatever century we live in,
Wherever life’s unfolding plot,
Imposed on us are choiceless willings:
To run away or to get shot

It seems to be a miserable gaming:
To feel devine or get obscured
In search of proper deeper meanings,
Or a cosy place to be secured

The age of tricky double standards-
All coins flipped possess two sides:
You either speak out to be slandered
Or drift along on with the tides

A truly profound piece. The phrase “miserable gaming” struck me – it perfectly illustrates our struggle for meaning in a chaotic world…

Sasha, thanks! Kind of truisms in here, but that’s how I felt like at that moment😁 After all, nothing really matters but love - the only meaning and purpose.
I’m sure you will agree as a person gifted with love 🫰☺
