The Journey Around The Sun Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

mystery surround our journey
through the fabric of space
in our planetary spaceship
from january to december
the four seasons of the year
in a psychotic spin around the sun
or maybe a merry-go-round
cosmic madness

life thrives in this journey
sprouting everywhere in its convoluted forms
unaware of the spinning ball of rock
in its maniac pursuit of time
with its vast speed and spin
life hangs onto its skin
counting days and nights
browsing through the seasons
counting the years
in a desperate attempt
to control its destiny

the torturous journey of life
is just a parasite
feeding on this mad planet
in a game of life and death
cosmic parasitology 101

the mysterious journey continues
from year to year
decades giving birth to centuries
a millenia is born every now and then
our planetary dance around the fire
is a never ending journey
