Thanatos I: Post (Re)Birth

This world is dying a slow and painful death. That is the fate of this world - these people. We live in a society where we talk to each other from miles away on cellular phones and think that's it's more personal than email. What happened to face to face contact? We've lost ourselves in a dark abyss of pesticides, lies, murder, rape, monetary gain, and we are forever love lost. 'Love' has become the quick-fix sugar rush that we constantly strive for, but we have yet to accept that we're always looking for a better 'high'. We think that we're expanding our knowledge...but we've never been more stuck in the history of man. Imagination is losing its' lustre with every invention that we've dreamed of. Dream is dream. Reality is lost. Hear my story.

My birth

I recall

Rewind

I remember
My cries as the white hands
Caressed my pungent body.
Crying hands
My grasp to the sliding walls.
Home
My forever lost.

My growth
I remember

Backspacebackspacebackspacebackspace

I recite my lie
The words that connect us
These words that bind me to misinterpretation.
To hurt.
To confusion.
To regular conversation.
Letters to myself.
Revealed to public eyes.
Mocking.

My present
I recite

Error

I feel
Anger
The pain
The emotion of the planet
The dissonance of the people.
Hear me.
Listen.
You don't.
Blind.

My future
I know

Fail.

Love is hidden among us
Within every person
Explored in the depths with one.
Why do we advance when all we need is here and now.
Man is always making things easier.
Easy never hurt so bad.

My life
I wonder
The possibilities that will return us to the beginning.
The rebirth complete
The animal lives
The noise ever-growing.
In numbers
In words
And as the music fades
The chaos begins.

Take my hand
And we will run away
Into the darkness
Closer to the beat
Beat
Beat
Of the human heart.

There,
I will be the catalyst to bring this world
To the end
With smiles and salvation.

Delete.
