My last stand

So now I must write
For not to, is unfathomable
As finally it stands within sight
My story welcomes the improbable

Engulfed by my phantom 
I cling hysterically, to the unknown
Should this life had been a sitcom
The applause would had been renown

In the eclipse of it all
As greatness obscures the anxiety 
I pause and esteem the heeded call
Right here, I could write for all infinity.

You and i

Flawed is my resolve 
Blurred is my focus
In spite all that I fight off
My insatiety remains my only curse

For you I begin
For you I overcome
As I glare at the abyss that is my sin
Your applauds incites my calm

The newsman, as jarring as ever
His words paint our world into oblivion 
Should I never see a light greater
I hope through you I live on

The known

A little glimpse into a year later
A short sight of the promised happiness 
A little help from someone who knows better 
A companion to save me from being the only witness 

The story has been read all day long
Each verse carrying within it the same line
Although we know where the end forever belong
Starting again doesn't seem to cost us a dime

A book I wrote in my own words
When read becomes a total mystery
Even with all I have observed in people's worlds 
In the end the only thing known is history

Humanity

Humanity, a big joke based on stories
First, their existence through the evolution of apes
Though it wasn't just picked up a day like groceries
It was proved by men who died still wearing their capes

As centuries passed their quest for wealth grew higher
Those who had,  gave others no time for leisure 
It was work, serve or face their wrath as a disloyal
In this, the masters gained nought but pleasure.

There was one flaw though in humanity
One that wrapped all hearts like a glove
And made both masters and servants form a bond of unity
The saviour for man's cruelty, love.

Lost in the ocean

Right in the middle of an ocean
You realise you're part of the life cycle
Staring right there at the big sun
The blinding light shuts down your IQ

The water seems to be overcoming you
Your saviour appears to be a big rock 
Only if nightlight tales were true,
Then a shark's back wouldn't be a big shock

You wake up realising you slept the night
In a split second you feel something sharp
Of course your body is a shark's delight
It wouldn't care about all your crap.

The Thinking Man

Our world, the product of our thoughts
A world where men impart life into ideas
Perpetually creating a scenery of our plots
In which greatness is only beheld by those without fears 

Our life, the entirety of our choices 
A platform on which we diminish the impossible 
And as time causes ideas to manifest, the thinker rejoices
Knowing he created sublimity for the accessible

The stage is set, the crowd demands to be awed
Devoted to our cause, we embrace immaculacy
Although human nature is prone to be flawed
For men like us, our work, our life, our legacy.
