Did We Win

Oh we set a ferocious pace Dashing along with the human race The finish line it was not quite clear Hurry, hurry we have nothing to fear Goals and dreams or so it seems Cloud filled skies of all the schemes Fatigue filled nights of frightened dreams Hungry children’s echoed screams Not as fast as the very best Respite denied there is no rest Twilight comes to tired souls Detritus scattered upon life’s shoals Time to face our hard earned fate Pray to God it be not locked gate Yes we set a ferocious pace However did we earn his kindly grace?
