Ebb and flow,
Vast open sea,
Superlative waves
Surge relentlessly,
Castaway souls,
Adrift and lost,
Life’s flotsam and jetsam.
Humanities cost.
Born on the uprush,
Destiny's dealt hand,
Generations adrift
Scattered casually by hand.
Life’s flotsam and jetsam.
on the shores of fate,
Tales unsubscribed
Considered whitebait.
Life desires unfulfilled,
Fragmented dreams untold,
Stories and echoes unsounded
Young, yet feeling old.
Broken pieces
forgotten hopes,
Life’s flotsam and jetsam.
Like a bobfloat on an ocean slope.
Life’s flotsam and jetsam.
Relics, their moments past,
Abandoned by memories
That didn't last.
Cast off and away
Singular circumstance,
Their souls just afloat,
In a periastron dance.
Minor paragraphs,
Unwritten, unread, unshared,
Life’s flotsam and jetsam.
No one bothered or cared.
In life’s chaos
The ocean scored,
Bodies lost from sight
Benevolence, unexplored.
Constraints and limitation
Curb dreams that set us free,
Life’s flotsam and jetsam.
Could we become future debris?
Hoping that in the wreckage,
Strength of mind persists and flies,
Belief in ourselves echoes
Under boundless skies.
In grandness
Of an expansive sea,
We may all be adrift,
Forever fighting to be free.
Let’s cherish and encourage
By singing an uplifting anthem.
Surf against the tide of life
Succour life’s flotsam and jetsam.
The children of the world deserve better.
