The Funeral
Do you ever think about death as a source of power?
As if you just slit a little deeper, walked a little further,
tumbling away to the source of all overwhelming insanity.
Like it would bring every wretched family member to the blink of pity?
But you would be gone,
another stepping stone of God's great plan of nothing.
How would you get respect; debatable attention, anything, drowning.
Under the roots of also pitied trees.,
addicted to the antagonizing, crazed minds of others,
wanting to be there, no cure.
Another tragic end to a teenager's existence.
Suicide? Having a motive to kill, even yourself is rigid desperation.
Rather getting near, to the dear dark pit that I once wonder-
would they understand?
Their thoughts on top as complex as under.
People are not frightened of merely death, but the thought of not understanding?
Like some channeled angel watches the strings of your being.
It is power, being honestly the biggest fear of the coast of life.
But just slitting a little deeper becomes another cringed, unavoidable cry.

That was quite a good read. I would say you were spot on about death being a source of power. Not that I'd ever thought about it until your post.
ReplyDeleteI was planning on just reading this for a second then putting it down, but it was very thought provoking and inspired.
