Life - Live or Die this Lie?

A person, I thought I once knew,
is someone today am a stranger to.
Is it worthwhile yearning for togetherness and friendship
when emotions lay uncared for, remaining but a service of the lip?

Self-respect and ego, blurred with humility muscled by arrogance
Bonding and love get eroded when distrust surrounds like a fence
Who is to blame when two beings drift apart
with each one playing stone deaf like a fine art?

Living each day appears like a prolonged death sentence
With questions piling on that make no sense
That feeling of wanting to break free and escape
is a reminder of life getting out of hand and out of shape

Then comes a small angel, who holds your hand
Like an innocent kid wanting to play by the beach and sand
The Self and Ego, disappearing like the setting sun
"It is all worthwhile", whispered God through this little one.
