EMOTIONS

There are joys and there are pains

Sadly I must confess I do not feel any

I think I wasn’t created in a time where feelings mattered but in a time where palms had stains

A time where we toiled until the sun set

Where our feet became dry like kernel shells

Where nothing else matters but the fight for self

Pain and joy were tossed aside

For an emotion we couldn’t decide

I led the team to the highest of highs

At the end of the day we left with sighs

Murmurs and whispers of the life we’d led

Abandoning it for one we came unprepared

Our faces an expression none could define

Our apparels worst than it had been

Pain and joy we couldn’t feel

Our destination we didn’t see

But we toiled on after all for the quest of an emotion we couldn’t tell
