I looked at life, and saw that I had failed
to reach the targets that my talents saw
as the achievements that would lead to awe.
But, nonetheless, we learnt that the detailed
approach meant that the mountains I had scaled
were the wrong range, I bore too large a flaw
to take first place. I did not know the law
meant that I always risked being jailed.
Time is the lord, no matter what the road
I take he manages to wear to sand
leaving no choice but to abandon hope.
There is no worldly force to act as goad
for me to run uphill, or just to lope
towards a place that is no longer grand.
