“Let end come!” you will then say in agony, But joy forever craves for rhapsody. A certain drive stirs up your taste buds The call of unnamed shores, And then you roar: “No longer handcuffed!” And inch by inch recede entrapping floods. If boundless realm rolls out its sweetest song, Stay strong, old heart, have courage! The blood in you outdid the barriers And thirst for timeless life seemed wrong. It’s only then that you see skies wide open. And like a bird you float above unending world. Just sing, don’t speak no words of wisdom, For there’s no heaven, no hell, no matter and no void. “Let end come!”...

Years orderly fade out to shade and dust As tampered with by somebody unseen. Poison exuded from the tree of life, Annihilation rolling out into the scene. A gust of wind will then remove the waste (Ye flimsy days of comfort and recess), Ain’t that a pointless struggle of their seed Craving for remainings of the days. Shadows of wonder are now passing by For those with ears to hear and eyes to see, The time is up, the end is near, My heart might render properly their flee. When I embark onto endless unknown To those most distant clusters in the sky, The only thing I leave behind as gift Is speculation - that’s all I could provide.

I’m nothing but a shadow roaming Aimlessly surfacing the earth, A floating mass of wasted ruin Carried offshore by currents of the deep. The wooden block on scaffolds With lust for dark red blood, The hanging rope that down low flutters Above the shadow of the hanged. I am a candle in the sky of morning That on the firmament goes pop, I have no joy, I owe no merit. I am Azrael, prophet of death. Attuned to pain and sorrow, I’m sinfully submitted to the nude An infant glued to anguish and tormention, Thriving on venom, not on wholesome food. I am the vox clamantis in deserto, And I can sense the hiss of snakes around As I say hail to days of resurrection In dry chants of funeral drums.

Just like a hanging grape onto a twig, That never is to ripe, but putrefy, Let storm prevail, sweep off the rotten fruit! When life goes wrong, demise gets sudden wry. How come that spirit is the first to shrink, (A garland wilted on the mantelpiece of life) And why a crooked mouth is capable of speaking, Well, it’s all about triumphant death and strife. I say to thee, poor drifter of the void, (Entrapped between a future and a past) Companion of those who end up tough, Far from the vivid, and far from the aghast. No difference if you linger or you die, The timing of the death is all that counts. As for the one who fails this ruthless norm, He’d better not emerge into this life! "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born." - Richard Dawkins
