Fragile Life Cracks Up Poem by John Sensele

Fragile life shrinks and breaks
When we overfeed on junk food
Devour too many steaks
Bask in a foul mood.

Fragile life dies
When we swill too much alcohol
Tell too many lies
To dissipation we easily fall.

Fragile life weeps and sleeps
When no exercise we get
But at wee hours we dispatch tatty tweets and beeps
With no proper target we set.

Fragile life six feet under
Sinks bit by bit as malice we spread
Frowns we wear like thunder
Silly face we turn always red.
