Passive Nihilist

Mired down with the thoughts

Unhealthy actions

Haunting reminding

Yet somehow stopped, intervention seems

Inescapable

 

All these questions about morals

Right wrong and what lies in between

 

Some it seems have these preprogrammed

Others have no set standards

Or is it that no one has these set standards

There is no established

Human rights

There is no defining set of ethics

 

Are we all truly running

Simply running

Headlong through life

Just trying to convince others

That we are right

All along the way

 

I sincerely hope not

I hope that there is someone better here than me

Because this set of fluid morals

Is beginning to throw me off balance

And I may not know where I stand

 

The funny thing is the decisions were all mine

But I still simply stood by and acted

 

We could all consider what we want more

And what is best for us

Often what is best

Is not what we want

 

Self destructive in nature we wander

And I am just a card in a deck

Shuffled tossed reshuffled

And dealt into uncaring circumstances

Sadly I may be the uncaring one

 

Can someone be a passive nihilist?

Or even a sporadic one?

You are a genius who is beginning to look for answers. And, you will find them if you don't stop looking no matter how many times you feel like giving up. I can't wait to read what you'll write when you find those answers. This particular piece is a brilliant slice of brutal introspection and it's extremely well written. The flow of thoughts and words is awe-inspiring. You have the ability to truly focus on a subject and explore all its dimensions.
