What must a man do?

When the thing he hoped to attain

Leads him to yet another pursuit again

It’s all going to fall through

Where does a man go?

When what for which, he bled and strived

Turns out an end not good, but fake and contrived

He sadly turns away, with more pain in tow

What must a man say?
When he achieves all that he hoped for

He’s rich with money, but inside he’s still poor

His mind is not able to stay

When the rug is pulled out

When the pot at the end of the rainbow

Is filled with sand

When the demons inside push on his chest

He is empty
