The Happy Loser

It was always unequal if not unfair
The transaction robbed me of that i held dear
I was ushered into a new world
Bumping. Banging. Falling. Resisting.
I was shoved with a new consciousness
Appalled. Intimidated. Excited. Pleased.

I hated you for the pain you caused
While reinforcing the constancy of change
You were the culprit but i was executed
For the guilty knowledge you empowered me with
Once again, Eve bore the brunt
While the Serpent slithered scot free.

With time i began to rejoice in the Fall
For it was redemption from a life like Sisyphus'
You transformed into a Saviour. Emancipator. Champion.
Pandemonium metamorphosed to Heaven
And i realized that the 'new world' is ancient, historic
And that i am initiated into it...
