Determinations fire

Loosing faith and all desire,

where's determination's fire? 

What is life when there's no hope? 

Ever better? Can one cope? 

Pain that seems too much to bare,

eyes that never cease to stare. 

Can other beings see inside? 

Do they know what one can hide? 

Humans are amazing creatures: 

different worlds behind their features. 

Letting others choose their way, 

One can guide from day to day. 

This is not real living though, 

(bumping, passing, to and fro) 

life without purpose or a goal

leads to a life without a soul. 

Pain, anger, despair, and grief 

have, of life, been a thief. 

Can we stop this awful cycle?

only if we find the fire. 

The fire to see and the fire to love.
