The Reason

Vividly there is a purpose

With honor we haul and stand uncertain

Then later crept into a fortified lodge

The essence is most times ourselves

A re-make of those footsteps we follow

There’s always a twitch, but never a booth

Was it for love that you base your endurance?

Or maybe it’s just as such, a compelling norm

A splendid theory speaks a curious tale

But where ever we stop, 

a tombstone marks the feet

Countless eras explains the change we pursue

The partners we engage may divert the aim we leap

At least there is logic for one to be submissive

A cause to be bold pushed and detained

Still to what do we owe our reason for the flag we mount

As for me, I console to Poetry!
