Same As The Rest Of Us Poem by Apudo Apudo

Same As The Rest Of Us



I do not watch over the universe
As the brilliant stars in the skies
My eyelids grow heavy at nightfall
Far below the heavens, asleep I fall

I do not on cherub wings soar
Thorn ever baying for my sole
I walk the gamut to scour the soil
To pray for favour and calm when I sail

I do not breathe of brimstone
Like the epic fiery dragon
It is sufficing to choke on ashen air
And when cold sets in, I stoke a fire

I do not escape the brazen fear trap
Armed merely with instinct and hope
It is not my place to decide
Whatever tomorrow betide

I am not a cart set on wheels of whims
I bear a soul, bubbling over with dreams
Weighed on by call to duty
Haunted by travails of an ancestry

I am not like logs stacked
My skin breaks scarlet when pricked
When my dry flaky skin itches
My sullied nails scamper to scratch

I am not like the morning sun
Before noon to run out of breath
East to west to honour the zenith
Every day without fault
