I have seen men work hard and fail
I have seen men persist and still fail
I have seen men believe and be left disappointed with the realities of life
I have seen men hope and end up lost in the depths of despair
I have seen men cry out in this despair with no one to help
I have seen men pray with no answers forthcoming
I have seen men hustle and end up worse than they started
I have seen men dream and get lost in them
I have seen men pursue these dreams and fail beyond understanding
I have seen men with great visions end up without sight
I have seen men speak up for truth and justice end up without speech and life
I have seen men rise to glory and fall to pieces
I have seen men love and end up shells of their former self heartbroken
I have seen men make meaning of their lives and end up without meaning
I have seen men acquire wealth and live in affluence and end up dying
leaving the world empty handed
I have seen men born with nothing, end up with nothing and die with nothing
I have seen men struggle through life and die with no peace and achievement
I have seen men question life and be left with the silence of the dead and the mystery of the dark
I have seen men lost and remain lost without purpose or any shred of meaning
I have seen men!
Funny… We all have!
But hey Life\’s a bitch
A bitch of sorts.
