Life Imprisonment Poem by Friday Dejavu

Life Imprisonment

Rating: 4.5


Condemn to the prison of existence,
You cannot get out of life alive.
I beg for explanations,
Life offers some stroke of condemnation.

Nature, teacher of my ignorance,
My crime yet unstated.
I live as though I'm immortal,
The end certainly is dead.

Roaming to be slaughtered,
We all patiently wait.
Every second holds,
The executioners axe.

The voice of a fool in the crowd is a genus,
Who cares as long as it brings fantasy.
When all is said and done,
I have served my time.

Labour, harbor till sunset,
And hope the judge is pleased_
The earth was never truly ours.

The earth was never truly ours. This is a powerful piece, perceiving life as a sentence to be carried out. This is brilliant, and demonstrates that the gift of a poet is as much in his eye as in his pen.
