In this short time on this rock
Let me tell you, the tale of Sisyphus
For we, as humankind, share his fate,
Endlessly toiling, burdened by weight.
Like Sisyphus, we push our boulder uphill,
Striving for solace, seeking moments to fill,
Each day living in pursuit of joy,
Yearning for liberation from the burdens we face.
Yet as we labor, our hopes rise,
An illusion of happiness.
For as we reach the pinnacle, the boulders rolls back
and erases the myth of happiness
we so gladly believe and chase after
In this ceaseless cycle, we find no reprieve,
Trapped in the web of what we believe.
We chase the dream of a burden-less existence,
Yet find ourselves trapped in constant persistence,
For the illusion of happiness is fleeting,
As we face each day, endlessly repeating.
