EpilogueTempestuous and weariful life is callingUnsatisfied, yet adamant. We begin falling Afflicted because youth is not ours to keep We become rabid, covetous, instead of meek. We must accept the hour glass of last time The wrinkles will be many the hair dwine. Yesterdays memories, must hide in the past This moment, this life wasn't meant to last. Rebuke not nature because you perceive dejection Cope with reality dress your own reflection. Narrate the years you have walk this earth. Be grateful that to you, your mother gave birth Respect the evenings, and days that you have left Berattling as a jackal, want change what fate has deal Abdicate, and skylook that the skinworms await Way meant as others may, with silence we have a date Uncross your blessings, give thanks to your creator Death rides not as an enemy, but emancipator The boundaries of this life shall be unclogged Destiny prevails, our hour, our epitaph, our epilogue | Bitter DarknessDismall blackness, dilemma, endless nothingnessUniversal blight, uncontrite, prison of forgetfulness. Cross barriers, Inept depth, sadness and pain, Silhouettes of abyss, controller disdain. Directing your anger, ever lost in space, No hope for tomorrow, left to disgrace. Defaming the rainbow, teasing the milky way. Zodiac signs moving about in disarray. Patrolling the skies with thunder, ousting the sun, Belittling the stars, contemptible, delusion done. Bickering with the clouds, eclipsing the moon, Hunter without prey, restive, and doomed. Nightmarish comets, orbital repression, The entire nebula scorned in obscuration Infamous blackhole vomitting up its bowel, Nothing can survive, all planets weep and howl. Penetrate light, dishonor darkness's tenement, I show no emotion, nor compassion, no sentiment, The rains can't revert and act as your tears, Search, eternity (for answer you must) for others fears. | Find TimeFind time, for this day shall soon be nightFind time to love, whilst you still have life Find time to visit the sick and the old Find time to embrace someone when they are cold. Find time to love your family, and help a friend Find time to invite a hungry person in Find time to take a senior person for a walk Find time for that someone that's lonely just to talk. And when you've found time for these things Rejoice and be happy for the satisfaction it brings. |
