the meanderings of a morose mind


the last day of winter will be march 19th

sunrise and sunsets mark the passage of time

revolutions and rotations are how we measure

 

but one day even time will end

i know, i know it’s not around the bend

but eventually there will be no way to measure time

when everything in the universe has expended all its energy

and all decay has ended

 

unexcited photons the temperature of space

will float endlessly with no one here to trace

their solitary existence

that’s the theory anyway

 

but tonight the sun has set

and it is february

and i am wet

as i walk around in the rain

 

people believe what comforts them

so why do i believe this?

believe me dark streets of decay are not bliss

i literally live without hope

without a god i have no expectation of justice

fairness or similar concepts

 

everything simply is

as it is on these cold streets

noisy with rain

 

love is intangible and relative to your expectation

 

no truer words have been said

then faith without works is dead

 

because actions speak louder than words

and are the only evidence that prove your beliefs

 

so what does that say about my actions?

that i am condemned to stay

on these dark streets of decay?
