We are simply a cog
In someone else’s machine.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Philosophy, PoetryI used to think that there was no challenge I could not beat
No malady I could not overcome
No loss from which I could not recover
No misguided step from which I could not correct
No betrayal which I could not forgive
No pain which I could not withstand
No negative which I could not make positive
On all accounts, I was wrong.
