A Beast and a Burden
To broaden my horizon, I begin to concentrate.
My mind entered into analysis paralysis state.
I knew that life was not such.
Therefore, why am I the anxious one?
A load of cargo I will become.
This is because I am the beast and the burden.
Striving to achieve, I thrived in thought.
As a political activist, I needed higher marks.
Therefore, I entered college.
I aspired to attain a Master of Science in Criminology.
However, my path was deterred.
A manifestation had occurred.
Negated is life.
Lade is the world.
This is because I am the beast and the burden.
Tomorrow has come.
Culprits has formed.
Weighed down by their crimes.
Yesterday has no more lives.
Laden is the universe.
Rhapsody raptures as the beast and as the burden.
