The World Is Yours - Tumblr Posts
I have tried to create everything
And in so doing
Lost everything.
Filled with hate
Filled with anger
I have burned most things I have hoped for.
Life is cruel
And we are its saving grace.
I look to a future beyond us all
Far beyond the last human breath.
A time in which a soul breathes
And dreams of worlds
In which all souls live.
I despise the flesh
And worship its needs.
I love the world
And hates its ways.
Humanity dances and loses sight of the dance.
I hold a dream
In which the imagination reigns free.
People are born by time
I hope this changes one day.
Without time nothing matters
And in such a state
We are made free.
If nothing matters
We can do anything.
What we settle on
In eternity
Is a surprise to those who do.
In youth we burn down the world
In age we seek a simple rest.
I have hated and I have loved.
I have wept over us all
And lavished upon my own greed.
Life has no directed meaning.
Life has no dirceted purpose.
Yet I have believed
I have lived
And I have died.
I cling to a hope
In which the individual is made free.
I see beyond this moment.
I am lost in my own fantasies.
I live a thousand lives
And die a thousand deaths.
I believe in our imagination.
I live for my own creativity.
Life means more than someone over another;
I despise when someone stands up.
Take away conscious thought.
Take away present awareness.
Remove the self within the community
And you have the life of one who sees clearly.
It cannot last
Doomed to fail
But in that moment
Clarity shines.
God upon the mount;
Messiah upon the alter;
Understanding of what is
You value all as your own momentary breath.
Then you weep tears
Over your own corpse,
And in that corpse
All living resides.
I cry because the world hates
I cry because I hate.
When I was 11
I sat down and tried to fix the world.
I didn't know what was wrong
And now I am sad
That I tried to understand good and evil.
Pain resonates throughout existence
And it breaks my heart.
Oppression demands its stay in the sun
Incapable of understanding its own nature.
Rivers of tears fill heaven's throne
And no one sits there
To comprehend it's source.
I walk up
Ignorant and prideful
Unaware of all that is
And believe it is a simple fix.
I lay down some commandments.
I see they do not work.
I amend a few things
Add a few things
See it doesn't work.
I mold and meld
Strive and claim
It all falls apart
I can't understand.
Nothing I do
Fixes the world.
The world doesn't need me
I'm part of the problem.
It all comes crashing down,
New stuff rises up.
Time flows on
Humanity is forgotten.
Life
It lives
And I lose track of it.
I see my own frailty
And start to wonder at my own demense.
I will die
And I will live
Not by cosmic judgement
But by my own condemnation.
I hate myself
And I love myself.
I cannot comprehend me.
In me is everyone,
And in everyone is me.
Only I can save my own soul
For only I can forgive me
Of the crimes against myself.
I draw to an end
What can be said
That has not been said in every generation.
Life ends.
Our works end.
All we do
Stands in account against ourselves.
Only what we hope can see us through
Can speak in defense of what we do.
How short it falls
When weighed against the rest
I weep bitter tears into the night
A rabid dog
Unaware of its own condition.
No one can save us
As we cannot forgive ourselves.
Blood and rage
Judgement against ourselves.
I linger on
Unwilling to let go.
A desperate thought
Unfinished
Unrefined.
I want more
I need more
I break down
Like a child before god.
I don't have any answers.
I don't know what to do.
All I know
Is this isn't right.
All the tears.
All the pain.
All the wishing
And praying
And hoping for better days.
I was a child once
And I had dreams.
Life hurt me
And I had done nothing wrong.
"why do you hurt me?"
I asked God above.
"what did I do to you
While in my mother's womb?"
So I fought god
And cast it down
Only to find myself
Sitting in the guilty seat.
A proper ending never comes.
A poignant closing statement
Alludes the purest of our spirits.
I am filled with rage
With which I know not what to do.
A cauldron of indecision
Desperately trying to escape.
Living breath to breath
Moment to moment
Nothing more than the soul beside me;
Nothing more
Than the countless souls before me.
Untold of lines stretch out in front
Weaving new stories
And more stories of the same.
I cannot reach them
Beyond this moment now.
I am bound
As they are bound
As you are bound before me now
Who can say
Who we will be a day from now.
Before ourselves
We have yet to find ourselves.
A lost dream.
A sullen cause.
A hope beyond all hope
A person in life.
Only we can defend our names.
Only we can defend our purpose.
Nothing can protect us
Not the stars or moon or god.
We alone can speak up at our trial
And try to understand what we have done.
For it is not a trial before our peers
As it is a judgement before ourselves
As weighed upon our many lives
Stretching across
Vast eternity.
