Soren Kierkegaard describes a person without a centering point in their life (faith in God was his center point) as "a drunken peasant who lies in the back of a wagon and sleeps and lets the horses shift for themselves."
WHEELBARROW
Push me!
Slosh me around, Oh Captain!
Take me where you will in your wheelbarrow.
I'm wild, wayward,
wasted.
I go where you go
like a drunk on a bus
in this unforgiving, red seat
that barely holds me.
My legs splay.My elbows clamp.
My head rolls.
Push me!
Don't spill me out.
Take me to the hill
to the top
where I can see what Pious Piper calls you up,
what pulls you to the peak.
Then,
there,
Oh Captain,
when you stop at the edge,
I will teeter in drunken despair
alone
and plead
Push me!
