I'M On The Road To Nowhere

I'm on the road to nowhere 'tis all uphill from here The past is gone forever 'tis the future that I fear And every day that I live is nearer to my end And that I do not fear the thought of dying I never do pretend. My past is gone forever fading memories of it only left And of any hope of a better future I feel utterly bereft Like a broken winded old horse I quickly seem to tire About me there is nothing that others might admire. A stranger in the Town I live in and a stranger on my street And everyone to me a stranger yes everyone I meet The bird into the hedgerow it quietly crawls to die He goes to meet the reaper and one day so will I. Words of praise and condemnation are all the same to me I feel empty of all feelings as empty as can be The rhymes I pen are slipdshod them I could never sell Just one more old poetaster a man of doggerel. I do not like the egotistical they surely bother me They have the ugly traits of Humankind they lack in humility I see them all around me they seek their own renown They even seek advantage by putting others down. I'm on the road to nowhere the high hill of me ahead A lowbrow of the have nots of me it can be said That I too had my chances but I left them go by And thinking of the future is something I do not enjoy.
