Emptyness

emptiness  2
            How do you feel today ?
         Like I’m in a empty room 
             A plain box in grey 
        Waiting for the end    or doom 
              To come  and get me 
                 emptiness 
                 I guess 
              Is what I feel
        Is it the celexa or not 
                 Life’s anchors 
                  Linger not 
                My wife’s  carer 
           Says talk to somebody at the office
                         My friend ‘s
                         Don’t know 
                       Or do they  feel 
                      the same as me
                       I can’t tell them.
            Looking out my window 
                     I realise.
           the shining leaves and tree’s 
                    The sky and sun 
                  Will continue on
               when I’m long gone 
              even when human kind 
                    has done its worse
              to despoil  our universe 
            do we deserve the wonders 
              we’ve been given here 
              god or happenstance 
                    matters not
              selfishness and greed 
                  are they the same 
             planets  by the million  
                galaxies  a billion 
                   more or less
                  do they contain
        creatures of  lessor greed 
             or imaginary need
               when happiness
             is what they need 
                  but again 
           time will go on 
          when human  life is gone
          time and space eternal 
             in emptiness
