A long poem about all of us and our purpose, and point here on earth. |
-We Make No Difference- by Keaton Foster You Me Everything Everyone All of it And none We make no difference Not a damn one Upon the shoulders Of those that have come And those That have ever been We have failed Fallen hard Down upon the sword Continually dying While we are Further fighting At denying fate And the cruelness Of its slighted hand Thus Our last words Should have been Something inspiring Something profound And inquiring But instead What was said What was lent Was just stupid Ignorant And then some Those who heard it Those who have lived it Are all gone Those that remain Those unchanged Those all the same Like to think They are special When special Is what they are Least of all As one before As one once more As a person both Existed and existing To them I say To them I confess Screaming it At the top of my lungs We make no difference None Not a God damn bit Our lives Obscure relics From a time before Our existence Mind-numbingly Incoherent By blood we are related Via our souls We’ve become inflated Our false hopes Sit upon the chest Of a god Long since departed Left to our devices Banished to our decisions Freewill is both an escape And our internal prison We are doomed By every decision We make Or fail to embrace We are fools to think That what we do And why we are here Truly even matters It does not You Me Everything Everyone All of it And none We make no difference I said it I live it And so do you Maybe I know Maybe I understand Maybe you don’t Or just won’t None of it is relevant None of it holds weight Everything outside Our bodies and minds Cannot be bothered by time It is not subject to demise Material Matter Energy Forms of light Forms of darkness Epicenters of madness Quadrants of civility All and none of it Just paints Upon the canvass Characters set to play If need be Stand-ins Are always available Willing participants When and if We are not We make no difference Not because we wish so But because someone Or something else does What Who How Again Matters none… We Make No Difference Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2014. |
