Defining Life
much more than intellect
so much greater than spirit
more than what we accept or reject
a force never permitted to quit
slowly beginning to realize
life's true definition
surely beginning to idolize
those existing in oblivion
forever trapped in an experiment
our fleshly existence
is merely punishment
for the sins of our essence
dense clouds of uncertainty
casting shadows of defiance
on the illusion of reality
in an effort to build our reliance
on superficial trash
created solely to torment
before being turned to ash
without ever having to repent
