A Lessons In Physics

-A Lessons In Physics-
by Keaton Foster



What goes up
Must come down
All alive
Must indeed die
Friction within our lives
Means resistance
But too much resistance
Can cause an ignition
A spontaneous combustion
That can destroy everything
But what if said everything
Is without question nothing
Then what
A lesson in physics
Here, to be presented
Therefore I am
Upon a taller ledge
Around my neck
There is a rope
Tied to a large stone
The rope is long
But the height
Is much greater
After I push the stone
Some time will pass
Before I follow behind
But be assured
I will indeed go
The speed and weight
Of the falling stone
Will become greater
Then any strength
I could possibly muster
Any opposition to death
Will be a moot point
When the slack becomes less
The closer reality will get
When the rope becomes tight
I will be ripped from this ledge
And dragged down into the depths
Of the choices that I have made
Gravity cannot be ignored
Both the rock and I
Will no doubt be smashed
I’ll live to see it hit
Knowing all the while
Shortly I’ll be next
I’ll experience everything
Between myself and the stone
Velocity, such an atrocity
Inertia, meant to hurt us
Instant will be my end
At least that’s the plan
A lesson in physics
Ridiculous is the extent
To which I’m about to go
I feel that I must teach
Those who wish to learn
I feel that I alone
Was meant to show
What happens to a being
When they are dragged
To their certain death
By a stone tied with rope
Around their necks
Thus, here I am
Now let me be clear
Precise
That rope, this stone
Are not new
The rope has always been
Tied around my neck
The stone has always been
Dragged behind me
I’ve always known the load
I’ve always pulled the weight
Since the day of my creation
And this, the day of my obliteration
I have always been meant for this
A lesson in physics
One, two, three, heave
Down the stones goes
Unslacken, does the rope flow
Snap, from the ledge, thrown
Gravity, so damn unforgiving
I’m very much alive
Living, seeing, experiencing
Each and every detail
The weight pulls harder
The resistance grows greater
The stones hits, shatters
I’m next in this
A lesson in physics…
