One day
you'll be tired
of yourself-
too much
you've done
but with
many wishes
thwarted

then sets in
--Weltschmerz-
the world-weariness
and you're caught
in its web-insidious
from which
you can't escape

the sigh follows
how futile has been
all the effort!

Does life
have real meaning
or is it
just plain absurd?
