Slaves

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:1-5

Products of our own choices,

masters of impossibilities and

empty desires,

creatures of cold-hearted witness;

slaves to life,

slaves to death,

slaves to everything,

slaves to nothing;

such is our destiny,

such is our fate.

Followers of a far distant night,

lost travelers upon forgotten

highways,

eventually everything

loses its value,

everything fades,

everything fails,

everything crumbles back

into the dust from

where it came;

I want to be free,

I want to breathe

once again.

Life is as temporary as

the moment,

as fragile as the

morning dew,

when it has all passed;

there will always be

You.
