Curious Soul

By Reagan Hudson

 

Granted a single life

One among billions

This curious soul trapped

Inside the flesh given

 

Abundance of knowledge

Power, skill, love 

Universe of plenty

Selfish to one

 

Begging for rebirth

At the edge of the end

Can that wish be granted?

Is eternal life a sin?

 

Curse this curious soul for the perishable body it inhibits

The mind it weakens and the heart it limits
