I am only a mortal thing.

Bernard Gabriel Okurut

Why should you come like a thief at night?

Wrapped in a mist,

So dark a cloud!

Seek you not to suck my blood?

Rip my heart out

And put an end to my brief life?

      Fear me not,

For I am only a mortal thing

Which in no time will expire.

I rebel not against fate's desire.

If you must pay me a visit,

You're welcome, I won't resist.

    wonderfully creative, I like the tolerance theme as well
    indeed, aren't we all just fallible human's
    warped Gollum by those obstacles in our fate..
    thanks for sharing
