The Fragility Of Being Human

Unleashed and untamed

a serpent in the garden

Another soul claimed

another heart hardened

The chord has been broken

left to waiver and fall

A used pile of newspapers

in a collage on the wall

Invisible lines remain parallel

never completing a circle

An endless ride on a carousel

the curses of being mortal

Some say, "that's the cost

of making the choices"

But I say "I'm the boss"

when it comes to my voice
