Thoughtful Damnation

the hard truth of the Sisyphus stone was not his never-ending futile toil but merely his doing it all alone that left his soul in eternal turmoil it's the difference in the distance of the incline he continues to climb between giving up and having persistence to a hellish useless labor unresigned we're less willing to do it without another wanting mostly to be offered a gladdened hand than to turn around to only discover we're the only damned soul walking this land so on we toil to climb the mountain higher seeing a view shared is our push to aspire © Goode Guy 2012-06-20
