Bowing

                                       In tight embrace of time
                                        I live life of compulsion
                                               Not of choice
                                          I have to go, forever
                                     Whatever I do, good or bad
                                      Odd, but strict is the order
                                     Is Nature absurd and brutal?

                                     There may be some wisdom
                                          Not intelligible to me
                                         Because I love myself
                                     Is it wrong if I want to live?
                                           Uncertain moments
                                     Imbued with perpetual peril
                                           Do not make sense

                                           I cannot go beyond
                                  Weaving thoughts and concerns
                                            A sterile exercise
                                      In the realm of secret rule
                                         Of the unknown, full of
                                         Opacity and ordination 
                                   So, I bow before the inevitable
