FUTILE WAY

From the very first moment you stepped into this world
-your very first cry-
silent.

Then you grew up full of strength and immortality
-your very first laugh-
silent.

You were just too curious for this life and its truths
-your very first thought-
silent.

Too curious to sense death’s chilly breath on your neck
-your very first lie-
silent.

And now that this life of yours slowly comes to an end
-your very first fear-
silent.

You can see at last what a big waste your years were
-your very first truth-
silent.

How you silently crossed this world, trying to make sound
-your very last breath-
silent.
