Story of An Illegal Immigrant

A life with great struggles is 
the life of a man who tried every possible thing 
to attain a decent livelihood but was rejected. 
A poor soul is rolling as tumbleweed 
in the ruins driven by a gust of wind.

A man who strived to shake off 
a load he was carrying but was not able, 
stands as a forgotten stone post in the middle of the desert 
where no root of a weed even grows, with his head buried in the sands.

In order to avoid life’s misery
he was watchful to his surroundings,
nevertheless, it was vain, he became lost 
in the darkening wilderness 
becoming a dense fog of neither physical nor soul 
but a shadow in the vapor.
