Uncertain times

Uncertain times unsettle human minds
We live without our choices   well defined
A fog of grey encompasses  our thought
Wonder from what pedlars we  have bought
In the mirror seek but cannot find

Like the one eyed man can lead the blind
We  can live without  complete design
Else we tighten, tense and overwrought
Uncertain times

Trust  is lacking, for the lost we pine
Life and death  seem not to be aligned
All those little rules our teachers taught
Do not seem to give us  peace from  excess thought
As through the world we walk as if it’s mined
At certain times
