World Ending World Ending World Ending World Ending Hope Is Crying Hope Is Crying Hope Is Crying Hope Is Crying As Humanity Your Duty Is To Suffer Smile Happily Boundless Joy And Venomous Grace With justice in your heart You take flight In the evening sun, you smolder Flatten as you hit the pavement Goodbye Goodbye Victimized Songbird Child Your Mother Never taught you how to fly Goodbye Goodbye Delirium Retribution The Snake It Swallowed Before you had the chance to hatch World Beginning World Beginning World Beginning World Beginning As Serpent Your Duty Devour Smile Cheerfully Twining Obelisk And Sacrifice Infinity No peace can compare to the peace of no existence No hierarchy can denounce the Law of Nothing In the morning sun, you blossom Self collapse and counter Recollect Goodbye Goodbye Fever Wretched World Your Mother Never taught you how to live Goodbye Goodbye Expression Seeking Seething Without a word Everything slips into As though you were born to de-story Internal Crucifixion Elbow to elbow, you march off the cliff External Crusifiction Everything dies one day Smile Thoughtfully Everyone has died because you know Cease Visualization and carry on Nothing can stop Nothing Entranced by it, Reptile The end is devoured by the beginning Thus, the beginning becomes the end Ouroboros Continuum Contraction Convulsion Compression Consumption Until there is nothing The coiled dragon mounts perfectly to the recycled crucifix Stunning view of the sky and rain The clouds only cover the stars, nothing more The moon only shares your sorrow To live is to die Listen to my words You cannot escape the only thing that is Through life or death, you are here Everything ends without you Everyone dies alone Goodbye Goodbye Birthing Child Dying Your Mother Never knew your name Goodbye Goodbye Everything Dies One day Without a thought Nothing Surfaces Smile Emptily |

Whoa! You got my attention with this Ikiru! I can't say it's a happy poem, but there was some meat to it. I don't agree with everything you said, but there was enough truth, it was a little frightening. I am a strong believer Strength comes from in Hope and Faith. I don't think those two work alone, though. The actions speak louder than words. a penetrating read; |

Some intense imagery here. Your beginning/ending scenarios are interesting. We are all born of a great nothingness, and that's what we return to. Yet nothingness is an all-encompassing everything, the whole enchilada. |

Josh ... You're an amzing young man, your father has taught you well I see. I am smiling for the both of you, even though it is empty, it is also full. Emptiness cannot be expressed without fullness, Shiva cannot exist without Shakti. There is no death without birth, no Knowing, without the experience. You're wonderful. Good genes I guess, lol. Don't stop writing. Hugs~tera |
