THE BURDEN OF LIFE
/POEMS
A breach in peace of mind
from a broken heart
Out of the burden life binds
upon all men on earth
Often grievous sorrows
Find solace in tear drops.
When infant emotions ignite my smile
And pains sting me to cry
Though that world of babes was a while
How much sorrows do babes know to cry?
Now should cries over life's despair
a solution be?
None could a broken heart repair
with a well of tears
In battle all must prepare
to rise above falls and fears
Within the mind before victory
over life and death.
Yet many braves cringe
at the word death
And the comfortable who binge
in their wealth
Even the vanquished on the fringe
of this unavoidable death
Who are pained to despise life
never gladly accept death.
Death is the debt that all men owe
and all must pay
As the ultimate end to all things
to set them free
And to be free from the burden
of life.
