The End Of The Rope

Yahwe Mutabo


When I became
The loneliest man
Ever haunted the surface of earth
Life, as I knew it
Vanished today
Things once important
Fade away
Humanity to me
A distant memory
The essence of I
So utterly alone

As I touch my own reflection
Through the scenario of my known dimension
The moment of final decision
A perpetual realization

Makes me wordless
Leaves me doubtless
Makes me timeless
Leaves me soulless

I see myself through the eyes of the dead
As I grasp my final breath
Yet I am everywhere
When everything is said

Eternally in emptiness I shall remain
Inside the elements of my domain

Bend yourself, bend your neck
This is the hour of death
The time has arrived for the cord to fall
Surely you can hear its ultimate call

Moments of happiness and misery
In the end they're all the same
Final thought
Not sane nor insane
Standing motionless
When gone is hope
Hanging
Lifeless
In the end of the rope
