Rhyme Scheme per verse: ABCABCA
All that we want and desire
And all that we shun and dread
Heaven, love, honor and glory
Heartbreak, obscurity, and hell’s fire
To save or damn us once we’re dead.
Which will define us, form our story,
When we lie in casket or burn on pyre?
Where do you prefer to rest?
The lover’s bed, or the cynic’s throne?
For what purpose do you spend your coin,
Fine garments to be finely dressed
Or with friends lest you be alone?
Which mystic faction did you join,
Or is this existence not a test?
By mind or heart is the die cast?
Is it better to have loved and lost,
And sternly go forward, to no avail
A relic of the chivalric age long past?
Or to never love, and forego the cost
Yet constantly know that you have failed
As each night grows lonelier than the last?
Do you point fingers or take the blame?
Create a problem or a solution?
Serve yourself or a heavenly master,
And do you love him or fear the flame?
Are we at the pinnacle of evolution,
Or at the precipice of disaster?
Do we still wait for a sunrise that never came?
