So It Began By Default

By default it began By default it commenced In error, but ignored Uniformed but never really significant Watching as it falls As it fails and resists Pushing against the static wall Refusing any obligatory responses Eyes blackened out Sight evolved beyond recognition Suddenly seeing all All knowing and now all apparent Tried to fool, to disguise, to make what is- isn't Yet conquers the knowing of the mind Knowing that none of this really exists Never been Never will it be Rushing against the obvious Rushing past what one thinks they believe All a lie made to comfort- When in truth only aroused to deceive No resilliance worth profit If one sacrifices all that ever meant anything So it becomes ripened From bush ample and ready to be plucked To be devoured in its youth To never know the complications of growing old and up.
