Alas, Is this really the end?

Betrayed by own men

Despite everything I have done, they have turned their backs to me

I know I mustn’t fail my father, I know I mustn’t flee

In the end this is the way I knew that it would go

I have done what I was meant to do but what more do I have to show?

Arms are spread apart and my legs are crossed together

Prepared to let go of this life and my spiritual tether

As I hang here in agony, my breath leaving rapidly

Father, oh father, why have you forsaken me?
