The Myth Of SisyphusA Poem by Abon HassanThy truth is out
of time, same as when thou knocks on that door and no one answers, carrying the
rock alone as Sisyphus; I’ve accepted my
truth, as I can’t carry anything else, nor religion nor love, or the things
that men happen to know by experience. I know for sure
I’m going to die one day, and it’s not far, and neither is my own decadent consumption
of mind and body; What is the answer?
Shall it be kicking off the shoes and lying on bed, and kissing that girl, and
walking the city as the night shadows my eternal dissatisfaction, for thy lord
leaves me to think, and to think alone, as one mass or atom that stands beneath
the surface, where hidden things are; I must complete
my journey and be happy with absurdity, as it is some form of abstraction,
never aware, never certain, always diminishing. God is there,
and yet I don’t accept it. I want to live as a man, not in eternity, not thy
paradise, and not in any person’s dream; I’ll be free as
my angst overcomes my will to live, and suicide becomes an option, as every
sensible man has considered it. Should I live in
the past with the nostalgia for the unity of reality and desire, or hope? There is no
hope, nor for women or children that fight a men’s war, while we live conscientious
of our own mortality, as we live fully for our lives, extending it as much as
we can. I don’t believe
existence can be compassionate, nor it will be, but though as the waters of the
ocean that suffocate nature with its density and amount, I must carry it in my
shoulders, as it slips through my fingers. © 2021 Abon Hassan |
