Two poems I came up with while bored waiting for class to start.
I made these to be either poetry or lyrical, and just wrote them in a rather short time so it may seem a bit more raw
This first one is a little personal
Quote
It's Just Me
What is this
That I am living for
Day in day out same routines
I can feel nothing more
From bedroom to classroom to workroom, the same old scenes
I need someone I can believe
Nothing to die for nothing to live by
Sitting alone in a silent reprieve
No meaning no reason, only earth and sky
God damn it someone just give me a Why
Nietzsche held the key to man
I grasp only emptiness in my hand
A hopeless romantic
A ropeless psychotic
A copeless neurotic
A dopeless narcotic
In solitude, the people I fear
In population, the loneliness I hear
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
But it seems I can’t
For it’s just me.
the 'someone just give me a Why' and Nietzsche part is a reference to a quote by him "He who has
Why to live can bear almost any
How"
This second one is not quite done, maybe 2/3 done
Quote
Entropy
Preacher, have you seen the face of God?
You have held the world’s answers in your hand
Share with us what you may know and we do not
You have touched the holy land
But you are still just a simple man
You can’t do things others can’t
Though you make rules you may bend,
But don’t you know
Preacher, don’t you know
That nothing lasts and nothing ends
Hello there you money man
Sitting behind a desk with your suit and tie
Close that deal and shake my hand
Sure you can take and you can buy
Turn on that flat screen and watch yourself die
In the end you realize what you’ve lost
But it’s too late, you’ll pay the cost
And don’t you know
Money man, don’t you know
That nothing lasts and nothing ends
