The birth of death

there is no end; no start to begin with
it just was.is.and shall be
so why are we so worried. (you should be worried)

E/T(AC) ≠ (infinity)


where:
E= existence
T= time
AC= advancement of civilization

--------------------------------------------------

im a liar / a thief!
with your treasure in hand
our gift as a culture
is lost in the sands
of utah and baghdad
the shores of great lakes

from under your nose
you've been duped, you've been faked.

im a teacher, a professor
of truth and goodwill
a figure, a leader
did you know i could kill?

--------------------------------------------------

what do you hide
in your dusty hat boxes?
where do you keep your gun,
and is it loaded?

your canvas is empty,
and it's not for lack of inspiration.
this tape is blank and his hearts gone cold

pray, do play us a song,
from behind bedroom doors
and static filled speakers.
we will listen

You'll forgive me for the rhyming. I know it was particularely cheesy in this one, but that's just the way it wanted to be written, and I couldn't work around it.

the more you write - the more you stop trying - the more you just let it run from your thoughts to your fingertips without trying to abridge, to abort, to amend - the more marvelous, the more stunning it flows and reverberates in our thoughts, long after we read

never stop
