Life

By Jasmine Geniross

As gas prices rise and jobs fall,

people begin panicking;

they’re afraid to lose it all,

scared that all their hard work

will be flushed down the drain.

Keep optimism– it’s how you maintain

and retain your sanity in this

maze of humanity.

What appears to be isn’t really

what you think you see.

This thing called life…

is a game with turns and roads,

created to deceive those inspired

to achieve. Unlike Truman on his show,

we can’t just walk away once we know

the truths of our reality,

but we can gain understanding of this game

called humanity.
