Jungle of tears

Jungle of tears

The path tells an untruth tale
allotting tragic pleasures,
And building-wide its balcony 
to lounge the eternity of man.

The jungle grips vigour
Blurring souls off the lean path,
Tears then wriggle joy
But the narrow path keeps leaning.

Mortals hunt the wide path,
Chasing it with all madness
Feeding the jungle\'s guard with love
Refuting the eternity that bore life.

In the jungle,
Tears got their loftiest dignity 
As wailing turns an anthem,
Singing appraisal to its keeper.

Like a furious whirlwind 
Whacking gradually the jungle of joy
Threshing even the very elect,
So is the seeds of the jungle of tears.

Pain is the jungle\'s destiny
The path now is wide and pleasuring
Narrow is the path to immortality 
Only the elect has the license.
