I’m just a cork out on the ocean
Bobbing up and down.
No purpose to my direction
No clear pathway to be found.
At the mercy of the waves,
I get dumped up on the shore,
Ripped off the next day
As the tide calls me once more.
🌊🌊🌊🌊
Just a cork out on the ocean
Bobbing all around.
I keep my head above the water
And my bum kept pointing down.
When the storm decides to change it
And swap it all around,
Not a damn thing I can do about it,
Except just keep on bobbing round.
🌊🌊🌊🌊
Life is like an ocean
And aren’t we all just corks?
Tossed around and set adrift
In a sea of love and hurt.
Like the tides that rule the ocean
Life pulls us this way and that,
Like the corks that bob and get tossed around,
Isn’t it just destiny at work?
🌊🌊🌊🌊
Till next time,
Calvin

Everything is truly Alive
wake up! Wake up from your everyday life. Wake up from your mundane existence. We have to remember who we are. Remember who you… really… are. we don’t know how we are made. We really don’t. But we do know where we come from. At least we can if we can… wake up and remember.

Everyone Is Acting Normally Challenge Winners
In the Everyone Is Acting Normally challenge, something is clearly wrong, but no one stops to name it. Across the shortlist, that wrongness appears as resurrections, surveillance, disappearance, and denial, each treated as part of daily life.
