The Mind of Mankind-Or Just More PhilosophyA Poem by Philosophers' DreamingIt comes mostly from the band Falling In Reverse's song "Sink or Swim" The words anyways... If you read it think about it before you post stupid stuff. Thank you.
"Put this into retrospect." Death said to me. "Man has always found something to believe in, in an effortless attempt to explain the unknown..." "Its pointless, man has done so from the beginning of time. Its rather amusing." Death then asked me, "Hmmm, religion is a rather funny subject, wouldn't you agree?" I just sat there and nodded yes to him, after all I was talking to Death, as in Death Incarnate himself. I was awe struck. Death asked immediately afterwards saying, "What if the Devil was a lie? What if God did not exist? So with all do respect, tell me what is Death if life is just a b***h?" I thought long and very deeply on the matter. Finally I came to a conclusion. I said very simply to Lord Death, "It's all just a game of wits, to see who can make something fake more believable than the other person's own fake ideologies. It is truly all pointless no one knows for sure how it is we got here or why we are here, except maybe you. Other than that we are all in the dark until the very end. It may turn out this is all just a very elaborate board game for a god or deity, just something to do in his past time... It is pointless." Death said, "I see. Then this must all be in your head, and since it is in your head you control what happens next... Much like controlling your own destiny." "Death." He turned back to face me, looking older than before and so very tired and worn down to exhaustion, and said "What?" I got up and walked over to him placing my hand on his shoulder. I said, "You should rest a while, after this is all in my head. I can take over for you." How very wrong I was. For it to all be in my head I couldn't control a single thing that happened while I was Death. I became mad. Fell deep into the depths of despair and chaos soon ensued, as if the gates of Hades were just nipping at my heels. Waiting for me to finally trip, so they could finally devour me entirely. I had to get out of it all! I had to find the original Grimm, the one from inside my head. When I found him he said, "Not so easy is it kid?" "Please, please just take it back all of it. I am going insane every second that goes by it gets worse!" He put his hand on my shoulder and said, "You should rest." as he let go of my shoulder, I slumped forward. Dead. While I was busy trying to control my destiny, I soon found myself lying six feet under the ground and deader than a door nail.
