[hometext] => This Prison We Call Time is Spherical and Without Exits. What will happen to me, has already happened to me. And so I am here unafraid, becoming conscious to this moment that existed even before the one before it.
[bodytext] => We are utterly insignificant In this universe That we have never seen And on this planet of simple life forms, That we have never ventured off from, We speak As though We are the ultimate voice of superiority We think we have control But its something We will never know With ambitions to rule With ambitions to conquer Our visions of power Can go no further Than the sky That rises further and further above us But the Earth And everything a part of it is weak And power over people Is such a trivial thing When to be exploited Is something that the people Are all born to seek We have the power To create illusions We have the power To build ourselves up In false directions But within the cycle of inevitability, The cycle that we all inhabit, There is no real power And so all along As we fight and quarrel As time is moving on The sky is rising further and further above us Leaving us behind Alone to understand That our power Is only in our imagination [comments] => 1 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 6 [informant] => Onslaught [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )
