Wheel of Life

Wheel Of Life On yonder mountain a remarkable sight Stumbled upon by chance In shrouded mist, shapes start to unfold Strange mechanism, a wheel is seen Sitting there in crossed leg pose A being unrecognised by myself Asked a question no response, Asked again, this time recognition What is this place? What is this machine? One at a time, answered back at me As fingers gripped the wheel Quietly spoken words follow Judgement is passed for all When the wheel spins, centuries pass Then a subject stopped upon Where the wheel stops, it has no conscience Decisions made, no heart string nonsense Music chosen, do not ask questions Too many names to say All then called no order or rhyme Join the line pay for their time. The name David, first to be called Weeping and wailing across the land Shock and horror all on show Quickly followed by the Prince of music souls The wheel has no feelings at all Name of George, whispered, who, when how? He spoke of truth to behold Judgements not based who or where Humans cannot believe who is taken from here Study the wheel, trying to understand Politicians, Family, where will it land Wheel starts to creak, it bursts into life Quickly left the scene, do not turn around
