Paradox continues
life sustains
seeking company and solace
in a crowded room
oh! the fallacy remains
Striving hard to search for
the eternal soulmates
within a
relationship of convenience
the contradictions sustains
Vows made out of blood
and eternal bonding
witness by the many
the deceptions remains
Blessed and pardoned
by the holy grace
and few pennies
in the charity box
the elusions pertains
Being born in the
land of mortals
seeking a sinless life
at the horizon
the illusion remains
Heading towards the
shiny mirage
tumbling towards
the inevitable and certain
death
yet born with a pure soul
the aberration remains.
