What are you waiting for?
A try at poetry, I give it a shot every so often when the mood hits.
Nothingness, the curse of almost every man and woman who has ever lived.
Doing nothing, its easy.
Its the easiest thing to do, nothing.
Nothing leads to Nothing.
And that leads to oblivion.
If no one remembers you.
If you die, and left nothing behind.
If No one knew who you were.
Were you ever Alive.
Do you exist?
Are you really here?
Have you done anything to be remembered for?
Nothing leads to Oblivion.
Will people mourn you after you pass?
Have you Done Anything?
Or do you continue to do Nothing?
Are you Alive?
Do you have a family?
Will they remember you fondly, as a loving, member.
Or did you do nothing but work, and never spend any time with them?
Nothing is Oblivion.
Have you done a Lasting Work?
Do you have A Legacy of Knowledge to leave behind?
Do you have a Masterwork so that future generations will Know you were here.
Alive is Leaving your mark.
Great Parents, loving and Kind.
Nurturing and teaching, leave their kids the same way.
And families flourish, from your teachings.
This is Alive.
Plato, Socrates, Alexander, Julius Caesar.
Homer, Pythagorous, Einstein, Shakespeare.
Hitler, Stalin, Washington, Franklin.
Churchill, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Napolean.
Charlegmagne, Catherine, Ghengis Kahn, Hannibal.
Frost, Galileo, Columbus, Chaucer.
Lincoln, Boothe, Jefferson, Disney.
These are a small selection of Names that will never be forgotten.
These men, for good or Ill, did their masterworks in deeds or pen.
They will never slip into Oblivion.
What about you?
Are you Alive?
Will you slip into oblivion like almost every person who has ever lived?
Are you here? Or was Nothing who you are, and what you became.
Nothing.......
