RIVER

I drift on and on

Where to? I do not know

These waves are too strong

And my strength far too low

On streams of hatred

And ignorance I’ve fought

To hold on to my meaningless life

Keep on trying, with all the strength I’ve got

The tides of time took their toll

And I’m far too down the river

Hope grows dim and my body floats still

I try to move, even if it’s just a shiver
