Wheels of fate
The moon's pale glow fades memories
As time's relentless wheels cascade
Daymares haunt the traveler's path
Passing in life's swift aftermath
Brief moments slip, skip, and flip
Amidst all the emptiness it envelopes
To Submit to the whims of the unknown
Seeking to even the uneven
Life carousel turn round and round
Tilting the fate of humanity to her knees
Each twist and turn birthing new stories
Entangled in various webs of destinies
Every man with his own cross
Weighing heavy on his back
In his search of a meaning to this chaos
Seeking clarity to the cluster of entanglements
In the depths of his uncertainty
Lies a darkness buried within
Embracing his inner true self
Through the trials and tribulations
His inner man longs for solitude
But his life is beyond savage
Beyond the rhetoric of a better ‘morrow
Just a pale memory under the fading moon
