Just a Trip

On a curvy road to a bumpy wild
We all take the 'trip' frosty and foiled

With big dreams and hope of evergreen
We take a stand with mighty screams

As our bodies lie to its barest form
To be stared and judged is a weird norm

The joke of existence begins post this show
"The trip of a lifetime"- Its called you know.

We doze and laugh as ignorant fools
Picked and paused like bots and tools

Taught a faith, given a name to sport off
Treated like a little doll, who can burble and talk

Time ages us, as the "trip kicks off."
Mixed with peanut butter, jelly and sauce.

Meadows are towed as mountains are crossed
Retardation happens as innocence is lost

As screams of jobs takes the marching toll
The soldier within struggles to walk alone.

Like a banyan tree, we slowly age
Consumed by lust, loved and being caged.

Nothing to regret, nothing to hold on.
It's just a journey, to learn and move on.
