Rest in...what?

Life and what we are at times presented with, but ignore.

Truth beaconed the boy, but the boy built his walls

Liberty called out to the youth, but the youth put up fences

Love sent out its rays, but the young man closed his eyes

Wisdom called out, but the man ignored her

Conscience asked questions that the old man dismissed

Hope presented itself at the bed of the dying

He who lived without hope, died without hope.
