We Continued To Walk

We Continued To Walk To Walk To Walk The Long Straight Walk We Continued And The Hard Face Of The Hard Road Never Failed No Not Once Not Even Once And The Sun Burned On Us Cruelly Though It Was not Yet Noon. And Still We Walked And Walked By Time Our Soles Had Become Sore And Aching Started Yet We Trudged On And On We walked and walked. For That Was Life The Invisible Chain That Was On Us And The Irresistible The Sword On Our Heads Dangling Continually Dangling All The Time More Cutting Than The Guillotine More Dangerous Than The Sword Of Damocles Yet We Continued Trudging Fear In Our Hearts Sun Shining On Our Faces. Parched Throats And Masks Of Suffering. Yet Trudging Trudging Trudging For That Be Life. Dawn, noon, afternoon Sunset dusk night Are All Irrelevant We Just Trudge On And On And On Continue Trudging. Verses Kept Occasionally flowing Flowing Drop By Drop Drop After Drop Cumulus And Gathering. Verses Flowing Verses Kept Flowing And The Mask Of Peril Began Its Dangerous dancing. Dawn Noon dusk Night Cycle Relatively Irrelevant. Trudging Trudging Trudging We Suffer Yet We Joy We Be Still Breathing Just Enough To Be Yet Trudging Trudging Trudging
