"The Trinity"

We are plagued by forces dark
That prey upon humanity,
Immoral creatures full of wrath
An evil, heartless trinity

The first is Time, which forces us
To rush along this road of life
As callously against our throats
It holds its power, like a knife

And when we finally realize
That we are meant for nothing great
Dark Sorrow chooses then to come
And clouds our lives with dread and hate

Now blind and hopeless, full of fear
We rush toward our finality,
A woeful ending known as death,
A "gift" from dear Mortality

I've heard of "Hope" and "Joy" and "Light"
Though ever they've eluded me,
And I'd give all to only know
The touch of their serenity

AMdG

You write with such elegance...
the only trinity I have ever known dissolves these three vicarious waifs.
Your ending line is wonderful.
