Oblivion

Born into oblivion No-one knew my name No trace of my existence That's from where I came I crawled out of the darkness To stand beneath the sun And raised my flag in triumph I escaped oblivion I set upon a journey To mark my place in time I kept a daily journal And wrote the words in rhyme The path was long and narrow I had to tread it light At times when it would widen I had to fight a fight Nothing would come easy I had to persevere And moral obligations Where things I would adhere I scaled the highest mountain To see the other side I knew that there was something That life was trying to hide I dived the deepest ocean To gain a view beneath I saw the bottom feeders And a barren corral reef I tried to make some sense From all the things I found But looking back in retrospect They're just etchings on the ground Disappointment shrouds me In a cloak of much dispare The only thing I've found here Is a cloud of toxic air I'll journey back to where I came Surroundings there are few Oblivion may not be much But.... It beats all that I knew Rockman :-)
