Save It

Save It

A Poem by Michael Handel
"

Just angry quasi-existentialist ranting at certain types of people for existing.

"

I just think that they are bored.

They open their eyes and aren't content,

they understand nothing and ask

what for?

How is it the Earth revolves round the Sun?

...and what's the origin of the "magic" of love?

They cannot and will not accept there is

nothing.  There's no magic force that binds

us together, or magic-god-beings that

control the weather.

No Mother Earth to thank for her birth

and there's no f*****g "energy" between

you and me.

We've evolved from sludge over billions of years

and these jerk-offs still think

when you die you live on.

Ah, but you have the "gift of sight", I forgot...

just see that your "energy" will fade or stop,

stop in its place and get with it my friend

no goddess

no god

no magic wand

could put your life back together again.

We're all just sitting here waiting for doom.

We're souless, we die, and we rot in our tombs.

I hate to be the one to tell you the truth...

there's nothing

and nothing is everything's proof.

I completely agree with Katrina. Your brutal honesty in this kinda left me feeling raw and almost questioning. Which is amazing. You really just grabbed the read and shook them.

Great job!

Youch. I felt totally dressed down by this. At the end I was like, "Okay! Okay, I'm sorry! You're right!!" which means that it's really effective. You're brilliant, even if you Uch it.
