Those Before
Are we doomed to the fate of those before?
Surely there is an answer,
a way,
to avoid the fate of those before.
Can man not live,
free of the burden that hangs above us all?
Can man not live,
without knowing he will fall?
One man searches,
ages pass and he searches,
for an answer,
a way,
to avoid the fate of those before.
On the dawn of his last breath he finds something.
And realizes it is not the end he should been wary of,
it was not the end he should have lived in,
for when he focused on the destination,
he lost sight of the path,
and lost sight of all around him,
focused on finding an answer,
a way,
to avoid the fate of those before.
