Oncoming

A rush

It’ll never end

 

Signify the perpetual squeeze of time

Notify the supernatural justice of light

Realize the ending

 

Hypocrisy unjust!

Cry blasphemy!

Shout maledictions!

This isn’t the end.

It’s only begun.

 

The saddening optimism of a fleeting hope

The disappointing fabrication of a lost cause

You are losing this war.

 

Ridiculous.

Utterly wrong.

Completely so.

This is life.

Not a war.

 

Mortals in the fracture beneath the blue moon.

Gods in the eyes above the nirvana for none.

Sophistry is what you speak of.

 

Agreed.

Eye to eye,

Not for all?

 

Harmonious timing at last.

Sounds readily apocryphal. I like how the second and fourth stanza list, and the second ends its listings with exclamations, while the fourth stanza list is calmer and ends as only statements.

Sophistry is what you speak of.

Very clever lines, I think. The first one is incredibly confusing based on just grammar, but I think it really sets up for the following line because of the word "sophistry" haha. Not only that, but that you speak of nirvana and then sophism (though subtely); two different philosophies of life haha.

Such a lovely end as well! "Eye to eye,/ Not for all?/ Harmonious timing at last." We all witness the end together whether we like it or not :).

A outstanding poem. So many lines I like in this poem. The word usage made this a pleasure to read. Complete poem was excellent.
