Life’s path

Life’s path

By May Kwek

All are travelers on the road of time

Running over life's messy plains

Falling, stumbling, running, striving

Ending then seeking to run again

For our paths were counted

Long ere we knew they exist

The paths we took, those we forsook

All lead to the end as it is

And along the way we forgot

That we’re all going the same way

And both the strong and the weak

End with a last day

So we fought, we struggled

For the ephemeral success

Without a chance or a pause

To consider what’s truly best

We pushed fellow travelers aside

To the glories we ran!

Never cared, never looked

Just did everything we can

But the paths we travel

However long they might be

End in the same destination

Man’s fated destiny

Where all the glories we picked up

We’re forced to cast aside

And we are as we are

Without a place to hide

And at the time and at that end

There is no U-turn at the bend

So now though that time is far from me

What should I do on the path before me?
