Desperated Soul Poem by PINONDANG SITUMEANG

Blink back the tears not to shed
What the reason, why so sad
Heaven fullfil the requests
More than what most friends get

On the top of the ladder
Abundant life, fearless things
Pace the races unplanned well
Ultimately, breathless at the end

No insurance to be paid
Pension funds got underpaid
Medical costs were unbearable
Tears welled in the eyes
And sob on the throat

Fearing after cloudy sunset
Rocking upside down rolling the waves
Rowing bare hands to reach the shore
Sour, desperate soul
