The Punch Line, Epiphany

The Punch Line, Epiphany

A Poem by Exsanguination
"

True story, man

"

The saying that everything happens for a reason is only true on the most literal level

It’s not a matter of some ethereal purpose

But, instead, a consequence of every previous consequence--a realistic causality 

In the linear form of life, death, and every action in between.

 

Weep not for me now

Everything I've ever tried to represent became wasted on my will to understand

Not what I wanted

                               but what I needed least

                                and what I knew to mean:

           

            Anyone that cries out to a power greater than they could ever be

Has trust issues worse than the roots of power

And a conscience seeped with sin
