through life’s
maze, will lead us to a place
where no
more progress can be made
in the
direction we are traveling
and, being
creatures who have
survival
hard-wired into our DNA,
we will turn
back to make our way
towards the
place we last turned
most of us
are habitual in our ways
seeking out
progression rather than regression
we do not
give a moment’s thought
with regard
to going “further back” in our path
as to do so
seems silly and time consuming
so we enter
at the last turn which we made,
already,
resolved to go on ahead from there and,
through no
fault of our own, the walls of life’s maze
become
narrower, taller and lengthier (somehow)
causing us
to travel longer without choices as to
which way to
go, other than forward, despite the
obvious
appearance that there may not be
another
chance to change directions any time soon
(if ever at
all) which brings upon great weight
for us to
carry on a, seemingly, unending journey
draining our
energy as well as all hope
of the
opportunity to change the course of our lives
