why oh why

we undone come or else no-one when all is done and said is won we high we fly we fall we die we live we sigh oh why oh why oh why we call and rise and fall we consequently lie we die in underlying sin and cannot win there is no other kin there to devise our sigh or hear our cry oh why oh why we cry we die we kill we otherwise the night despise to rise again we fall we shift we flesh the rift and all the while design the drift nightmarish of the falls of conscience of the men and myths of the world forthwith where all we see is all we hope we cannot cope hang by our rope and out of reach beyond our eyes we grope our cry our cry our cry
