Nihilism

By drasticdaydreams

I seem to be caught
As a fish
Somewhere between logic and morale, as it seems the two cannot fit together.
But I cannot swim upstream
Due to my lack of faith
And love of the descent.
So as it seems
My soul is as the ocean...
Polluted.
And uncaring.

    Back to the sea and the primordial ooze from which we sprang. A thinking person's poem but hey, it doesn't really make any difference anyway eh? :) Cheers! - Dan

    I love the analogies used in this write. Not only that, but it expresses so much in only a few lines.

    This was a punch. You convey so in these few lines. The last 3 lines... The was good.

  • A former member wrote: Captivating in its concept, I found this work to be not only analytical but with a profound understanding of one of the most complex philosophical forms of reason. Very well done.

    "Nihilism is best done by professionals" ~Iggy Pop. I liked this write, the intelligence of it, the grit under my eyes of it. I'm familiar with it, I can relate. Thank you for sharing it.
