The man died His ever breathless soul put to rest His woes anguish striving existence The crowd came to say him sorry . Who is he? A pitiable embodiment of aspiration Thirst unending for fulfillment A Thought that rolled mountains But shifted not mere stones . Who is to blame? His gluttonic desire? Or his unending attractions? The over zealous mind never left him Like a snail that leaves not its' shell As he chased the treasures hidden in the shadows . Where then lies his hope? The cruelty of the ropes tied his fate He was hunted by the shadows Bade farewell to the grave where he Would find comfort I gaze down from six feet above him and screamed What a pathetic man !
