From The Mountain Top

From the Mountain Top From the mountain top, we can see the lights Of Hope, and feel the unspeakable pressure of the fights Ahead. The roads are snaky, long, deep and treacherous. Life is a constantly unending struggle of ups and downs. One wrong or missed move, death shows up like a frivolous Thief, like a hard core enforcer or bouncer who frowns To inflict uneasiness, pain, shame, sorrow and despair. From the mountain top, we are grazed by the fresh air Of hope. God willing, a better life is ahead; good vibrations Are a few miles or meters away. We must act, take actions, We must be vigilant, alive and be constantly on the move, In order to survive the inclement weather, and the groove.
