Have we yet conquered this Stupor of Life?

Question

Waking

under a sheet of glazed indifference

I see life through

veiled hope

veiled from the new

stupor of life that starts

each morning, twisting a man

on his ear, gutting him

while he hacks away

at the immortal job

that he has created out of

Nothing and Everything

that he has feigned allegiance to

for most of his existence

and this stupor

rules the swagger of men

and women

and lays in wait

for the youth

to overcome.

Answer 1

I have been laying is stasis for some time now waiting for the youth to come...I'm still waiting...

Answer 2

There will be better days...

..not all of them are just existing.

..as we age, we lose the desire to wake up every day with joy.. the mundane takes over...

Hopefully our youths will not find this so..

Answer 3

Very creative Buk,But i'm in a stupor every morning until i have a few cups of coffee.

Answer 4

Give me a few minutes. It's early yet.  This cupa Joe needs to circulate and then I will tell you.  Very deep poem. You are indeed a deep thinker. ;-)

Answer 5

It's 3.30am and I'm in a stupor at the moment.

Time for coffee and a vegemite toast perhaps?

Answer 6

Do you remember the days of youth when we felt no stupor of life?  I do.  I think it is earned with age and wisdom, and a lack of coffee in the morning....this was just beautiful, true and a sad fact of life...which is why we need the laughter.

Always

Answer 7

it's magnificent verse and you live in my heart as always... but for chrissakes, honey, it's not even 8AM here and i'm tryng to keep my buzz up.

mornin'... in typical Northern fashion... snicker-snicker.

Answer 8

Nicely done as usual. Wonderful tome for my eyes to encounter today. LOL

Answer 9

Kind of sad, but well written Buk. And I'm quite awake and on my way soon for a hike with my Jessie, and  later some time in the garden. Always enjoy your poetry and the glimpse of what the eyes and heart observe.

Answer 10

Um........sorry darlin I just don't understand but coming from you I am sure it is brilliant....

Answer 11

it must be cause i'm still groggy and haven't had my first cuppa coffee but that sure sounds depressing....it's good though.

Answer 12

Buk, you are indeed a brilliant sage, well done.

Sorry I can't do better this morning I stagger round in a stupor until the pot of coffee is finished...
