Favorite Quote:
Its better to say "I ran" than "still running".


The death of the human being,
is one of suicide.


Though such death,
is left to scrutiny.


As it can be foreseen,
through the atomic fire of our stubborn nature.


Or by the toxins that poison,
maim our Mother.


For we are of progress,
and self-destruction.


To rise,
but to forever fall.


Humanity is about change,
never of permanence.


The author's comments:
I wrote this piece with the notion of the stunning linearity of man, how great empires fall and how greater ones fill the void. Little more than a small vent piece really.
