836 - Life is Chaos


Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are: habitual, illustrious, and jumbled.


Life is Chaos

Life is chaotic—
Jumbled by outer forces
Beyond our control.

Habitual traits—
Our own dumb contribution
To the current mess.

Leaders disappoint—
Creatures of straw and tin.
Illustrious?  No.
