Crossroads Poem by Miklos Balogh

I traveled the world, far and wide.
I observed myriad of wonders, day and night.
I left but a few stones unturned on my way.
I have never been so desperate, so separate.
I studied humanity, the nature, and the life of the wild.
I mastered how to read, to explain, and to write.
I preached compassion, affection, and love.
I have never felt so barren, and so left behind.
I fought many battles of an unholy war.
I conquered many hearts, spirits, and souls.
I became the victim of my childish crimes.
Finally, I countenance your innocent lies
