The Dilemma that Rhymes

​I tell myself,

That the future will be better.

But little do I realise 

That it’s now or never.
Faith in God?

Pen, mightier than the sword?

Struck in the crowd?

Stitching my own shroud?
Inspired by illusion

Motivated by confusion

Separating feeling from emotion

Is my aim a delusion?
But I keep going on,

Striding on the waves of time,

Because existence, is an art sublime.
