(aaa) Sojourner

Rating: 2.9


Walking through the lives we tread
Mostly unknown where the final destination
Amidst the complexities of an abyss materialism
Perflexed and chagrined by the question

What lies below the Hades where souls abound
Will they continue to rot forever and be helpless
Once arrogantly displayed invulnerability
Fearless, daring and unabashed careless fool

One day will succumbed for your arrogance
Then that is the time you'll have to say
You're a sojourner in a world of hypocrites
Where shameless world and rotten fools abound

Yes sojourner and vulnerable you are
Mortal and weak, ambitious and arrogant
Now you are lying in bed moribund and weak
Final blow is coming and finally you will say

I'm a sojourner in this world of rotten fools!
Sans strength, sans immortlity, sans hope
Your nothing but a matter ready to vanquish
All what you have is what you can't take it

Yes we are sojourners, yes we are weak and often it seems as if the path we travel called life is aimless at times....during these times we must hold fast to our faith....you capture it well.
