Seldom degradation

The seldom degradation everyone feels at some point is more like a background hum to our life, to our existence as we forget one thing or another or as we realize we will die most likely alone with our impact and life forgotten but only by the few who still stand with us till our death. Some even realizing their ever seldom degradation and so spew their life onto a page, into books so they can grab the attention of many more that relate to their seldom degradation. But those are the more dramatic cases of clawing and gripping for life and the drive to go on. Most are just a slow fade into the dark as they are forgotten. So to the morbid truth let the drive of life propel us into greatness or into darkness as we wither away from this planet in mere seconds on the scale of the universe.
