Look at how they crawl around

Upon the Ground
Like little Ants

Confusing fate

With what is merely Chance

Isn’t it a laugh?

They hope for the lives that they need

Living every Day ‘til the Day they die

Never getting Answers

Yet still asking why

Going through the Motions as if there will be a reward

While we stay eternally bored!

Who they are is who they’ll always be

With this thing they call Love ‘Til they fall!

Standing still

Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill

Only Human, after all

Hoping someone will help break their Fall

They will pray, curse, live die

Never knowing their Truth is another Man’s Lie

Eat, sleep, love, hate

Like a Leaf blowing in the Wind

Watch them all vacillate!
