Great Men

I was born to a life I did not choose
In that regard I have little to loose
Yet, many have hurt me
Why can't life let me be?

I have never in my life asked for much
And never recived any as such
Often it has me eluded
Many have me excluded

Tried I have, again and again
As would many great men
But look back and see what has past
Gaze forward behold - what will never last

The greatest pain known to man
Is the pain that no king can
Control a woman's love
No more than the cloudes above
