caught between envy and sadness
over futile choices
raised  close to the earth

to eat, drink and merry,
on it fraud speech dances to greet
poor death!

  the more futile the answer

Two more 
To go 
To whine 
And not  
Let go 
Seems so 
Futile 
And now I see 
There never 
Was anything 
Between you 
And me

No matter how bright a star is
It becomes futile and useless 
If it cannot share its glow 
For bigotry suppresses its flow

Resistance Is Futile
Is THEIR SENSE OF HUMOR!

They Pre-Date Tolerant
Compassion And
All That Weaky Stuff.

That glows in the dark on its own 
Than a diamond with a borrowed luster 
That lays futile till the coming of dawn

soon ruled the planet.

they were good for us.
If only they had been

In the presence of his variants, all resistance is futile.
He's heroic in one, yet tragic in multiversal...

She opens her eyes at dawn,
Finding a moment of peace 
Before the day is drawn.

Noise of life soon intrudes 
To underscore futile busyness
Like improvised etudes.

 It can give the shore a gentle kiss
 Its wave can get angry as it broods
 Its power is futile to dismiss
 As it lashes the shore with a hiss

They factor as impulsive evidence
of choice
Unbroken as futile swords

Adroit patterns drew themselves
