Bathed in Mediocrity

But seriously, what is really important to you?

When you’re home at the end of your busy day,

After fighting the wars of your daily trade,

Do you listen with interest to the evening news?

Do you vegetate til you slowly fade

To oblivious numbness? Blocking it out,

Hoping the world is a better place

Than the one portrayed. You want to shout

At the phantom, if you could find his face.

Hard to say what is truly important.

Always so much going on,

So bathed in mediocrity

You fail to see your Rubicon.

Time to find the larger picture,

Get the check and pony up.

Will you drink the loser’s lager,

Or sip champagne from the winner’s cup?
