Simply  Sisyphus

Copyright K. Kozak, 2008.

===

 
No one remembers his lackluster crme:
     Always an annoying, lying trickster...
But his punishment endures, forever --
     Synonymous with the name of Sisyphus.
His entire world defined by his struggle:
     Endlessly shouldering a huge boulder,
Pushing it up to the top of a mountain,
     Only to watch it roll all the way down.
 
Today, anyone stuck in a dead-end job;
     Caught between lack of benefits, insurance;
Juggling a sub-prime mortgage, credit debt;
     Confused by endlessly-increasing taxes;
Hanging onto a loveless, desperate  marriage,
     On the edge of divorce and custody battles...
Sometimes it feels like being simply Sisyphus:
     Deadened, exhausted, but eternally determined
