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
