The Smoldering Fire

If pain, suffering, failure, and the pursuit of pleasure are all that life offers
We might be better off not choosing, even if that means a quick slaughter
Born into a world of danger, one of hunger, conformist demands and Hell
Aborted hope, unreachable goals, empty dreams lead to a pursuit of wealth
The emptiness of being haunts one's steps, and leaves a vacant footprint
A joy in life never happens, outside life does occur, but with a dread within
Some are fulfilled by the common life, others refuse to be satisfied by more
Results lead to people with no burning fire, immune to passion at our core
