388 Life Is But a Fracture In Time

Life is but a fracture in time A shiver of a grain of sand Yet we look at it, as gods Even though we are not gods Imbecilic, that is what we are And truly lost There is no more grace in our existence Merely an unknown Was there ever true meaning, it is forever gone And pain, yes pain is our god We breed such to our own kind To cause grief, to control Life by the hand of power And we fight to control this shiver For the blink of power is absolute Within ourselves, meaning evades We become, an illusion to ourselves We become, gods Even though we are not gods And what we have is unknown Simply because it is no longer remembered Life is but a second wasted For all If you so choose to follow this path And the fracture dissimilates Then we become the sand And without meaning, without peace There is no love And without love there can be no life We become gods Because we have forgotten how to live. ~ By: Darren J McMurray November 20, 2011
