us

people think we have to be angelic
with hallows above our heads.
that we are mere human beings
prone to sin and pain
escapes their total attention.

so we try and try and try.
and we fall and fall and fall.
life east of eden as we know it
not as rosy and pink
some blinded by false promises of utopia
so verily claim.

it only makes things easier to bear.
because there is meaning to it all.
to all those peudo philosophical ramblings.
of folks too proud to admit defeat
i sayeth step down and looketh back.

we try not because we aim to please them.
we try because it reflects Him.
but we fail because we are yet human.
never perfect never strong.
