A rabbit hole.
With our deplorable birth
We are delivered,
Not into a wonderful world,
But into a treacherous hole.
One that is filled with enticing
Illusions and maudlin affairs,
That are nothing more than mere
Bear traps waiting to pull us further down.
We are not pushed UP to reach
The glorious sky. No.
We are thrust DOWN.
The very beginning
Of life marks our sequential descent into
A deceptive and wonderfully vivid rabbit hole.
Alas, if only we knew!
