Purpose?
Do humans have purpose?
Yes? No?
Nature has programmed it animals to survive, so is that there purpose?
To live?
If it is, is it the same for humans?
Seems it can't be, more humans refuse to live every year.
What is our purpose?
Love? To reproduce?
Yes? No?
Animals do what they can to keep their young alive, so is that their purpose?
To care for their young?
Is it the same for humans?
Seems it can't be, more humans are killing their young every year.
What is our purpose?
Power? Strength?
Yes? No?
Animals will strive to lead the group, so is that their purpose?
To lead others?
Is it the same for humans?
Seems it can't be, more humans lead others with corruption and lies.
What is our purpose?
Equality? Fairness?
Yes? No?
Animals all have a equal chance to live or die, so is that their purpose?
To have fairness?
Is it the same for humans?
Seems it can't be, more humans set themselves above others every year.

Tiberius Augustus Porter Poem
From Fragile and dying
To Strong and Eternal
I walked down this path of dust,
I watched my life fade into sand and dusk.
Loved ones fall six feet under,
Foes weaken and break from time.
My undying body strengthens,
My eternal soul fades faster each year, decade, century, and millennium.
The sovereign curse me and plague me.
Death's cold embrace seems non existent.
Death her sweet embrace is the only thing i wish,
She tells me she'll be there at the end.
But how soon is my end?
should I follow her or stand and wait as my sun turns red, skies ripped of their blue and oceans turned to sand?

Tiberius Augustus Porter Poem
I can see incredible sights, I just need to close my eyes.
Cities, countries even planets seem to be so clear when I shut my eyes,
And yet you remain ignorant to them. Why?
Is it that you're so broken by society that you can't even imagine a new world?
Can you tell me the last time you could close your eyes and see an adventure?
Glories, riches and excitement and in a simple movement of your body,
But you can't seem to muster up the ability to live life in both worlds.
Imaginary and Reality, those are what separate those who are lively and those who are a walking tool.
You could say its the difference between the heart and the brain.
Yet there were those who could walk in both reality and imaginary.
In the beginning there were millions who could live in both worlds.
Today what was once millions in now thousands, what happened?
What was once adventure to a new peaks is now replaced with arrogance and ignorance.
Kids once went outside and pretended to be knights and kings and grew with goals.
Now they can't even leave the house without a damn phone.
Where did our transcendence go? Our adventure? Our goal?

Tiberius Augustus Porter Poem
My Heart,
My heart beats and pounds faster the closer I get.
Why does it pound irregularly?
Is it this other being I see so close to me?
I call out to her but she doesn't seem to see me, why?
Is her senses numb?
Why, oh why can't she see me?
I've picked her up and earned her trust,
So why can't she still not see me?
When we're together I can't think.
Am i sick? Should I see a healer?
It hard to explain how things have changed,
But we are the same anymore.
We have split, she's found another. Why?
We are worlds apart, but still the same.
How is that possible?
When can she realize it?
Look can you hear my voice?
Please step into my circle and let me show you.
Come near me, and listen to my voice.
You're making the choice
Either scream No or rejoice Yes,
It takes everything I am to love for you.

Tiberius Augustus Porter Poem
So this is how we break?
We were perfect,
We were almost there at the finish line.
Why would you betray me so.
No more apologies, its all i can take!
You told me you love me, yet you had to love him as well.
You say you love me, but i hate you.
No more regret for the choices you made,
I won't forget you who betrayed me.
I don't care about your excuses,
You killed our love!
I've become the king of pain and hurt.
There's a mark upon my skin where my heart use to be.
You put an arrow in my back and sunk it into my now bleeding heart.
I wish i knew what it was like to care enough to carry on.
It wasn't mean't to be this way.
We've fallen, broken, simply dissolved into an empty shell, cracked and disfigured.
When i see you i see fallen angels.
I'm not the one i use to be...
I'm falling apart, i feel so transparent.
The void around devours me it never stops, it never leaves me.
Reminding me of when we would laugh so innocently,
I just can't stand tall anymore
