Flat Lines

Flat Lines
The bearer of the cross
Cries, counting his loss
With heartbeats of lead
And tears full of sorrow
Time passes like fame
No hope for tomorrow
Stifled, discouraged
With no one to blame
Bored with existence
No gamble or game
in pockets with holes
endless prayers for lost souls
Ridiculous faith
and nobody knows
but me.
Fix me, free me, or let me be
One day at a time sweet Jesus

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
