Everyone loves depressing poetry, right? · 4:12pm May 13th, 2013

Here's just a little something I wrote a few minutes ago.

If you've ever felt like whatever you were doing was meaningless for whatever reason, then you should know that I pretty much wrote this to embody that very feeling of emptiness.

A Hymn for Humanity

To see, to hear, to think, to groan;
Always seeking to bemoan - - -
But be there good within the keep,
Should the souls abstain their weep?

But weeping still they do ere long;
Caring not for day is gone - - -
Yet night need not hold fast at length,
As beings often doubt their strength.

And simple as it may yet be,
The darkness never true to thee - - -
Though light can tell lies just as well;
Some too worse for all but hell.

Then even after all is done,
The humans seek to trust no one - - -
By'est forgetting all and remembering none,
The men will slave on and on forever . . .

Until their time is finally come.

It touches lightly on principles of morality (though very indirectly) and mainly works to paint an image of human futility/pointless suffering/lack of understanding/clouded perception, but more with figurative brush and less with morbid motifs and language.

I was mainly inspired by Queen's Who Wants to Live Forever to write this, where the "One sweet moment set aside for us" is death (seen at the end).
Many figurative influences can also be seen, but not in great number.

And while I do realize that this isn't some new fic, this pretty much sums up how I feel as of yet.

Whatev's - - - I'm out for now.
