The Fragility of Life

a typical versus mine (perspective)

Being eternal can be considered a type of perfection

But the fragility of life is like a glass cannon

 

This is a pessimistic perspective...

A person uses intelligence for luxury; for deaths delay

Luxury even still awaits inevitability

A short longevity

When a person stays within lives decay

The clock mourns, the seconds count

When the predator starts to chase

And the prey becomes the hunt

The passing of that breath

Awakens an ancient fire

A new life which is damned to bare

Lifelong hurt within a candle

Lying upon religious spire

A game of survival, a food chain that’s dependent on myths

A risk yet risk-less life

Of prevention and preservation

In essence, a really long thought of personal approval and personal care

One really long bore and stare...

 

On the other hand which is better?

A consciousness doomed to be withered?

Creations evisceration; our rusted dagger

The silent, cold, ear beating, pulse piercing, life long awaited rusted shank?

Or a brief awakening out from the nether?

To experience, signify, and share

I think it's the purpose of existence

The reason for joy-gasmic balance

A purpose to create something eternal

Love, an impression, malice, you can decide

At the least I can think and I think it's an invaluable luxury

I will confide within myself

And I will choose to go along for the ride

It’s fun, free, stress-less, worthless, meaningless for all like myself

And dangerous as I hoped it to be

The world is mine

Fragile, ripe, decaying and kind

I hear each rhythmic chime

This is my time

Author's Note

In essence I'd rather not wait to die rather experience life to the fullest, also stating that we even get to skip through unlucky food-chain encounters, it should be even more incentive to want to see everything and be everywhere. Seeing both perspectives on what to do with this fragile short life.. its really you who gets to decide. This was my core concept for all current new uploads of poetry.

[Once upon a time]

I agree. I think it would be sad if the purpose of life, was to look forward to death. And I think a lot of people view it this way (kind of a Religious teaching). We must prepare now, for death.

I would much rather live in a world aspiring to be happy and knowing I did my best to live my best. I think free-will is meant to be used to free ourselves from oppressive teachings.
