Simple mortal

By José Guzman

To be human self as strong
Far from it, all can see.
Crystal clear human flesh easily pierced.
Dagger slices softly,
Flesh exposed, blood drip-drop-drips steadily.

They drown inside, terribly trapped
Endless whirlwind of despair.
Tragic toil and troubles
Wrap the heart and soul inside.

Such strange mortals..
To fall down endless times,
Yet-
To rise on every challenge,
Like a rocket burst of energy,
Strong willed determination fueled by motivation.
They fight no matter what,
To the testament of time itself,
Shaping human history.
Such strong enigmatic mortals…
