The Maze of Life

The maze of life



Rocked by the waves of emotions and reality,
I follow the rhythm far from conformity.
The cry of my soul overwhelmed by sorrow,
Praying for the hope of a better tomorrow.

The journey of life and its sharp end corners,
So often ignored are the foresight warners.
Who, with the wisdom gracefully acquired,
Guide the ones that the One inspired.

Some paths are wide…. some are narrow,
In some…  are set up traps in a row.
Resembling a maze fit with diversity,
Crossing paths with beings indulged in adversity.

The meaning of love is a foreign dream,
The test of kindness has drowned in a stream.
As for the humble notion of genuine care? 
Its essence foolishly outstripped … bare.
