The Razor's Edge
To wake up every morning
forced to fight the torments of your body
just to stay alive and fit for work,
the daily combat just to make life bearable
and tolerable and enjoyable at least in any way
is more than just a full time work.
It is to fight for life and for survival
balancing across a tightrope blindfolded
and without safety net, the tightrope cutting deep into your feet,
the famous razor's edge of life that Maugham described
in what is actually the introducing hippie novel
about man's desorientation in this age
in this distracted world polluted by destruction by himself,
while only sparse illuminated individuals
feel the lostness of mankind and try to search for a solution,
which they only find, as individuals, individually.
It's a predicament with no way out
which forces you to introversion
trying to find an alternative solution
by an inner road perhaps through metaphysics
for the vital rescue and redemption of mankind,
of life, of nature, of the planet and the future
to at all make any love a possibility
in desperate determination not to let it die.
