It's only getting worse
Not worth a moments regret.
Each dawn another curse,
Every breath a twisting blade
What will be left behind in the ashes of the wake.
Suffered consequence,
It's been so long since
Any piece of this
Made any kind of sense.
You anoint the kind,
I'll burn everything
Down to ashes.
You giveth,
I taketh away.
Silence - the only promise ever kept.
In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences.
- Robert Green Ingersoll
Life does not have inherent meaning; to say that our lives are pointless and our achievements meaningless is to state the obvious. No matter how grand our achievements or how broad their scope, time turns all to dust and death destroys all memory. But that does not mean we cannot ascribe our own meaning to what we do. It is because nothing has meaning unto itself that we are free to create meaning, to make metaphor, and in doing so reflect on ourselves and our world.
