So much misery in this world of dust,
where everything at the end
turns out to be a mirage,
all our achievements just sand
running through our fingers
when the clock calls midnight for us.

It has been all in vain,
the good and the bad,
all we did.
Eroded to dust by time,
carried away,
decades turned to a life completed,
left behind as the world continues.
