Barren Man

To vanish from this impious era i 
mind less
conceivably recognised as a vain 
guest
To the toiled years i duly  reminisce
as futility proved my paramount 
best

To this world i pleaded with a wail
upon my arrival on its terrain 
To serve me right till my departure
but this it did did in miniature
 
To this world i pledged my 
prospective days
but this it shattered in various ways
To my exertion i'll personally extol
if no being cites and applauds my 
effort

To another realm
i'll get deposed unceremoniously
To what awaits me in the  
subsequent world beyond
i remain optimistic

To the fatalists i now resign
as their belief  obvioused in my 
instance
To this notion i duly adhere
perhaps my irrelevancy would be 
remedied at death
