War of Me versus Universe

For long has man lived far from whole—
A life of me alone and sole,
Never one with all else
That spiritually spells,
One that has taken heavy toll.

Fought he has a self-imposed curse,
A war of me with universe,
‘It’s me who scored the goal,
‘I’ve a claim to walk tall’,
Never a walk walked with others.

He thinks, me alone is enough,
And yet his journey proves when tough,
Wish, there dawns awareness—
Common ground, consciousness,
O to call his blind-folded bluff.

That the rainfall over his town,
O by warmth from far is sent down,
None lives in solitude,
Lives in shared brotherhood,
One falls, many may break their crown.
