Day 96:

Oct 4-Luc Bat, from Vietnam.  6 & 8 syllables lines alternate. xxxxxA, xxxxxxAxB, xxxxxB, xxxxxBxC, etc. Title: Web of Life

What is the web of life?

How can there be such strife we see?
Just how can this thing be?
Is mortality fee as toll?
Strands attached to a soul.
We mortals have a role to play.
But do we have a say?
The spider has a way to go
To bring us mortals low.
Are we just flies so slow to wait
With fear, sealed is our fate?
Or ignoring the rate of breath
We consume before death.
As Adam begat Seth, the call
The web of life gives all.
The souls attached so small right now
God claims us all, and how!
