Poetry: In the middle

Is it here already, the middle?
You can't know unless you know the end.
Is a new day round the bend?
You must know the number, to answer the riddle.

Middle age is any age, any time.
It differs so from clime to clime.
There are places, all spic and shine
Where middle age's always down the line.

Middle age is any age, any time.
It differs so from clime to clime.
Where all is bare and full of grime
Middle age comes in hardly any time.

Those who keep count are those who know
That they will have the time to grow.
And as they count the days and years,
They wail and cry their bitter tears,
Refusing all signs of happy times
That on their foreheads appear as lines.

    Always in the middle,

    Afraid to break away,

    Safety in the numbers,

    Not such an easy prey.




    Haven't an opinion,

    Or keep it

    In the Middle
    I look at life, I can't decide
    Whoever's right or wrong
    Who is preaching to the choir?
    Who taught us all a song?

    Once again I find myself here
    In the middle

    Neither in the group
    Or out

    Somewhere between liked
    And tolerated

    Walking the line
