Meaningless
A lonely colossal,
Behind the ditch I lived
Have me forfeit my ego...
I shall but die
In wretchness I go---
But, though empty,
I rejoice.
About this poem
The poem is basically about the reckon of poor soul showing gratitude forever. It's most unfair having even the rich who have lived the best of their lives in lexury failing to do so. Each day is a blessing, each pain is a reason and death is all but a glorious transition to eternal peace and rest.
