Stubborn Man

As if a breeze of goodness Blew over your head, Filled with thoughtfulness, Far from what you dread, You open your eyes and see What you think lies ahead. You’re wrong…although denial Is the very first reaction If you choose to be vial. You won’t have satisfaction, Your life is a death-limited trial And you won’t find any compassion. Acceptance is a way for others, You know for you it’s not. You think you’re full of powers, By lucky streaks you’re sought… Then you’re in for some cold showers And the reminder that you fought. It isn’t a conspiracy, It’s not even a joke. With sudden found accuracy The prediction is a hope stroke, Because life is interdependency And you have to take the reality poke. You can’t know it all, You can’t have your way, You can’t avoid to fall, You can’t sin and pray, You only have a goal.
