Before The Law

Contributed by mikemajor on Friday, 21st October 2011 @ 08:53:33 AM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles

My curiosity had brought me to the gates of The Law
But all progress was halted I could venture no more

A Gatekeeper there stood who obstructed my path
With his menacing demeanour and a soul filled with wrath

Warning not to continue on my journey ahead
For more frightening will face me: The thought filled me with dread

Though my hunger for knowledge of what lay inside
Simply would not relent it just would not subside

But he held firm with his caution of the immanent danger
So now who do I trust myself or this stranger?

Held back with uncertainty, burdened with apprehension
Unsure of my fate Im held here in suspension

So I patiently waited, hoping he would relent
But time just marched on, with opportunities spent

As my life drifted on, and the years passed me by
All that remained was just waiting to die

The end brought me courage to enquire of this gate
Though I was informed, it was just for my fate

And thus when I am gone, it will be closed up and locked
Ive no time to be sorry, nor time to be shocked

I think of all those ambitions, of those things Ive desired
For the unique opportunities that left me inspired

Although I look back and wish for this chance once again
It is time to accept this is where Ill remain

But the long-term companion I chose it was fear
Controlling my choices it drove me to despair

So now at the end I am filled with regret
The price that Ive paid is a terrible debt

And what of the lesson I chose to endure?
It was my time spent in judgement Before The Law!
