Abyss

The Abyss"
We come from a dark abyss
We end up in a dark abyss
The intermediate we call it life
We are born nave and ignorant
We die not knowing what to expect
We just return from whence we came from
Our short chance to make an impact
To live our stamp everywhere we can
To live on through the collective memory
Our whole life a desperate effort to create a memorial
The only highlight of our state of being
Life
We go back and forth trying to accumulate as much as we can
Knowledge
Love
Pleasure
But...
We just go back and forth
Forgetting everything we've learnt
Forgetting everyone we've loved
Forgetting everything that pleased us
So...
Since we do not know from whence we come
Since we do not know to where we'll end up
We live only for this intermediate passage
From the moment we are born
We begin preparing for our return
Knowingly, subconsciously, or unconsciously
We try to hold on to this transitory phase of being
We grab onto it we teeth and nails
Trying to achieve immortality
From the moment we are born
We try to create 
We try to turn thoughts into matter
We create new life
Hoping it will create more new life
But....
It's another desperate effort to hold on
To achieve immortality
Is it worth it?
