BETRAYAL: 1904 - 1996
Betrayal, of what,
of whom,
why,
and for what?
What happened during those years?
Those lifetimes?
That moment?
Why this place?
This landscape?
Strong voices cry out
turn to light
and
just as quickly
vanish.
What does it mean?
Why is it here,
anyway?
Why this body?
Why these thoughts?
Why change energy from one form into another?
Why make the invisible visible?
Why create something
that is not meant to last?
Why all of the fuss,
the work,
all this bother?
Why this pain?
Why are
dreams
the currency of life?
When this is gone,
only memory remains.
Until,
this also
is no more.
Stillness follows struggle.
Must the darkness always
Triumph? |
