A ROLLING STONE

 

A ROLLING STONE

 

The stony heart is sterile, unstoppable,

Uprooted soul running down capable,

Disconnected from the reality values,

Uncontrolled the spirit virtue, misuse, (1)

 

Fail to contribute a contradiction, say,

Gather no moss masquerade display,

No love attachment, faith, and show,

Crush obstacles, unhesitant, follows (2)

 

Lacks, interest, asset gold and home,

A pedestrian's life, a baggage, alone,

Discards a mission of life, unmindful,

Sings the song of life, abstract, awful, (3)

 

The guitar strings lost rhythm, touch,

A symphony, a melancholic song search,

Steep slope and roll speedily life tries,

He is not a nomad, laughs and cries, (4)

 

Not pain, suffering, and sadness fail,

Immune to the harsh reality, a sequel,

Avert cry for help yet selfless or mute,

Detached from the human, no dispute, (5)

 

Silent, barely quarrel, avoid bitter fight,

Runs forward his nature, scarce fright,

Unaware of anguishes bruised, brittle,

Solitary walk path of life, a tear, trickle, (6)

 

An inert stone, round, rolled, at the bottom,

No more movement downward, storm,

Motionless for eternity a life resembles,

Wind plays with leaves, branches tremble, (7)

 

The wanderer lost direction and static,

A rolling stone gathers no moss, a fact

Humans' lives replicate a mirror intact,

Vibrant nature, happiness, love, ecstatic. (viii)
