Alas, the Final Scapegoat:


Is this not a meaningful life?
A dripple of water, a beam of light.
So little in quantity,
Yet at the right moment
So praised as a heavenly gift.

And death?
Where oft blows winds of stillness.
The insidious frost locked in place.
A lonely setting to fixate upon,
And it awaits us all.

To ere angels devine.
Smiling in laconic bliss.
Oh site of sites!
And life, sweet life!
May it fade within thine eyes.

Lo the hypocritical axis of concrete phases!
Tis all that beacons, and commands.
We lay within our stand still time.
Death being the last scapegoat,
And I being the last of me!





I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Wonderful queries on life Javier! Searching and pondering the depth of thoughts from meaning of life ... to end. I really enjoyed your wording in this piece, very well done!

Where do I come up with these ideas? Well to be honest, I just have a vivid imagination. I have no idea how some things come to me, but they do. It's as natural as breathing for me.....oh well! Anyway i'm glad you all thought it was good.
