Almost Empty

Greater all-encompassing words are never uttered
When they say that existence is almost empty

That any sentient being lives in true fear
While the chaotic churning in the heart of our universe
Remains out of our influence, alien to our control

Will chance save you from war, famine, lies, treason and disease?
Or will your tale be torn from the pages before it is read,
as the tombs of finality collapse upon you?

Stealing your breath
Sealing your life force
And consuming your mind into the stagnant rhythm of termination

The inevitable end is always approaching
Presenting the aftermath of all that is

Behold despair
For we are all pawns in a grand plan
As our own lie to us, beseech onto us untruth

See two halves part, driven by mutual disgust
Falsehoods based on perception
Senseless hatred and demoralizing deprecation
It's spreading, it's here

Hidden struggles never realized
Cries of need on deaf ears

Will they ever truly know anything other than dismission?

All you can do is watch
Yet others say this is justice

Greater all-encompassing words are never uttered
When they say that existence is a sick joke

That any being of thought and reason cowers in defeat
From the terror and turmoil ruling in tandem over our little pocket of matter and space
As reality betrays us, while lady fate laughs

You and I are practically over

Give Up

Give In
