Gross Darkness

Will you have your life for a prey? It squeezes you between the vices Realize you can only be happy with A good balance of good and evil What is it to stand alone I ask To know nothing but to love And to be left alone to rot Survival begs the question But it comes when pursued By the edge of a sharp blade Then you feel the resurgence Of vigor pulsing in your veins So what is it to be alive I ask When the world burns in livid fire And there are those on the edge Begging for a few drops of water It is from the good graces above That we come to show our faces All shiny with presentation expressed To go about emanating apathetic truth But the terrible wheel grinds ever on It turns and within corners ends To place man face to face with himself At the end of a tunnel with no way out I say to the wheel to grind on then When no choice is left but to go on For your grinding has summoned me And now it has come to see me off So I go out with an elegant bow As stupidity is the most worthy thing Humanity has ever come up with For it defines human application
