The Solitary Soul

I was once a man who lived
within the measures of his time
paying homage to the laws
and the writ of social circumstance
I gave credence to friendship
the kindness of fellow men
giving loyalty due credit
to the tasks and duties at hand
Alas the world has other cues
the counting of self does outweigh all
selfless tradition has no dues
except as fodder to selfish chores
Upon a choice I opted to sever
all the ties that have bound me hither
unshackling the binds of social tenure
freeing my soul to freely wander
Enjoying the silence of empty harbors
exploring the expense of lands uncharted
in the cool waters of solitude's river
singing the song of a soul disenchanted.

Excellent work. I can feel it too. I'm saddened by the greed and pridefulness of many people today. Never so saddened that I felt any call to be a hermit, but I know how it must be. I couldn't be without time alone in the outdoors to think and be away.

| Sungguhpun hati orang lain lebih suka melakukan kecurangan, jangan sekalilah kita mengkhianati orang lain-setiap perbuatan yang baik pastinya ada pahalanya, setiap perbuatan yang keji pastinya ada balanya. Terima kasih sekali lagi, saya tak nafikan bahawa saudara ada bakat sejati. |
