And So
what are we now
hence that we should worry
about these truths
of good and how
we should avoid the other
man has sat
on ground and stone
and all his heart
and soul leaked out
and still it is not known
come ease this cord
that binds us tight
and come with me
into the night
for all the great ones
lie in their graves
and if truth
has eluded these
then why should we
know or care
for life will pass
by this place
so let us not
this chance waste
for our time is short
but we are here
and our now
will soon be past
