A modern archetype for solitude
rethought of will
barren of displeasure
a surrogate passivity wrought from assertion
todays dive brings tomorrows broken neck
like a fractured daydream superglued with reality
the pressure of the walls closing in
forced by greedy hands
suffocating yet tempting is the inclination
struggling to breathe means life is worth the search
while the treasure could be but rebirth
the excitement comes from the quest
and from that learning anew
though nothing is learned
knowledge is meaningless next to truth
and truth is a fleeting image
born only from a hearty desire full of purity and will
are we but creatures sore with despair
being content lazing around in uncertainty
the majority certainly fits the bill
so it is and may be until the end...
