Will We

When time lacks meaning
Will we slave our lives away?
When meaning lacks time
Will we save it for today?
When life lacks purpose
Will we fight amongst the rest?
When purpose lacks life
Will we rise among the best?
When parallel meets perpendicular
Will we cross another's path?
When perpendicular meets parallel
Will we fall to another's rath?
When light meets darkness
Will we judge one another's shadow?
When darkness meets light
Will we catch the blind arrow?

Author's Note

Feeling a bit depressed. More-so than usual, and of course my cryptic words are the best way I can vent. Thanks for reading.

"When meaning lacks time will we save it for today?" This poem makes me think. When time lacks meaning will we save it for the rest? The poem was at its best. "When darkness meets light will we catch the blind arrow" that utters the lyrics from this beautiful poem?

Quite creative rhetorical lines, with nice rhymes to make it flow. The words are, indeed, cryptic and wise too.
"When purpose lacks life
Will we rise among the best?" -favorite out of all.
The imagery in the last lines, about darkness meeting light, stands out. A great little poem.
