The Story of the Void

Doesn't seem right
but the void offers no
      apologies
Neither money, sex or
 dreams
Can erase the void
   If you want to
know
      why
   Well, take your best
shot
                 You'll learn
the limitations of reason
Yes, the void is waiting 
inside and outside us
 If you want
            to delve 
deep
       you will reach
the core
    but the void will
  still remain incomprehensible
Our small fires 
      light up the darkness
for a brief while
       yet the void 
will eventually see 
        them return to ashes
We dance
   like puppets a string
Yet even though we
are but marionettes
   We still dare to raise
our small flags
    In defiance of the darkness
We set sail on
    our small boats
The mighty waves
of nothingness
    all around
Yet we smile 
in the face
           of overwhelming odds
The void is something 
we cannot escape
but must resist till 
the very end
