"Not a gift, but a rot"

 


He learned he was never here,

to reproduce, it wasn't his task,

as this poet so tragically wrote:  


"they weren't blessed with children,

knowing they were blessed without"


He wrote "and here our path departs"

and he replied "how many times and

to how many have you spoken such",


These words he wrote, but it was the voice

of the Prophet he heard in questioning him


As blackness dripped out of his ears

like thoughts running through a mind

leaving no trace or hint of what spoil


For he had learned to live 

next to the lives of others


But him was bought a keyless entry

yet still he had to tread society's mill

as barren and deserted as his heart 


A stranger amongst friends and neighbours

for in his mind - his heart did live elsewhere
