Alone We Walk on the Earth

Alone we come and alone we go,

Alone we walk on the earth,

Of truth in this there is no dearth,

Alone we all bear our yoke,

Sounds like a cosmic joke!

Alone we are in our woe and pain,

Alone in our loss and gain,

Alone in the vortex of love and hate,

We wage a lonely war against fate,

Alone we do iron into our soul pump,

Alone into the frightening abyss jump,

Alone we from one day into another tumble,

Alone we repeatedly err and fumble,

Alone we on the stage of life strut

Though wearied inside by the daily rut,

Vainly like Sisyphus rocks up the mountain we roll,

Alone we chase every weary dream, every illusionary goal,

As people wag their tongues and at us gawk ,

Alone into the sunset do we reluctantly walk!
