i am entirely mortal for i am entirely human
but i am listed amongst those few men
who've finally understood with every passing breath
"life is but what keeps delaying death"....
------------------------------------------------------------
i haven’t forgotten that once while walking
on the lame road, busied by its inviting fare
where the sun grows and dies without docking
and throngs of men, drifting towards nowhere
i had seen a sweet cherub standing alone
as passersby rocked on without paying heed
on the mouth of a lane, sounding a faint moan
that no-one noticed, that no-one felt a need
i felt urged to move, but i moved away
back to the dusty artery paved with strife
