A Larger Game


Am I a pawn…
Or am I a part of a larger game.
Am I an example to mankind…
Or am I being prepared for some other purpose.
The world is my rival,
But moreso is the nature of the universe.
I seem doomed to this existence…
Doomed to a life beyond life –
A life beyond death –
A life beyond hell –
A life beyond eternity –
I wish to have to face it no more,
But I am unaided even in this request.
