Rest in Peace

the driving seat

of man is heart

from his throne he endeavours
to navigate

through a maze

of unending demands

expectations levied

from family
foes and friends alike.

on the wheel for steer

is his will to be

at helm not be steered

he wallows amidst
umpteen shallow desires

to possess one
then turns to other

burning still with fire
for fame he consumes
and devours. 

death then quietly
walks aside, whispers
to restless soul
you've had your while
now rest in peace

for there no winners
but losers here!
