Nihilism (any critique is welcome and encouraged)
Note: I am not a technical nihilist, but I am going through a period where I don't know what is true anymore. Thus, I give you this:
There is no rhyme or reason, no method to the madness,
No riding the train without being pulled along the tracks,
No relaxing in the car, no drinking in the bar,
No collecting pennies in a cataract jar,
There is only the rift between god and his creation,
No mission for existence, history is but a fiction,
The food is not delicious, only a sensory labyrinth,
Cavernous, eat ravenous, ‘till the juice runs down your nose,
And when your face finally glows from the intake,
You will realize that the folly of belief is just another mistake.
One too many times I have been deceived into believing,
That happiness is just another gift that you receive,
I finally realize that you have to work hard,
To win your space in the bartering queue to attain just what you want,
When you finally get there, what time is left?
When you fell asleep at the wheel, death slowly crept up.
Nihilist perhaps, but it is the way of the world,
A product of the times, disturbed as they are,
As one grows older belief becomes more and more depressed,
Like the beaten, traumatized child that time just loves to molest.
