the ever contemptuous alarm rings,
splitting the silence and your slumber
like firewood,
it jolts you to the world of never-enough
a world of never ending pursuits
money, love, happiness
you seek them despite the eerie laughter
a diabolic laugh telling you
of the vanity
of needless worry that assails you
for this world will swallow you whole
although ravaged, scarred and scalded
people will speak glowingly of your exploits
because you often obeyed the alarm
