Sunset (Haiku)

Like the setting sun

Life soon finds its horizon

The dark sky beckons

We work hard to live

Is this all there is to life?

Each day a struggle

Meaningless pursuit

Of material wealth and fame

Life wasted on greed

All on borrowed time

You are nothing when end comes

Soon forgotten too

Surely there must be

A greater purpose, deeper

Reason why we're here

Next week’s theme: Fathers
