Today’s poem was inspired by Eugi’s philosophical poem, ‘Profound Transformation’

Enjoy the Carnival
Arise, forget about the chaos
Surround yourselves with nature’s gloss
And enjoy the carnival’s fairy floss
Arise, be your own boss
Escape the world’s mossy dross
And enjoy the carnival’s fairy floss

it’s a great poem but it’s hard to escape the rat race when you have a young family to support 🤦♀️
