Entropy

By Shikiryu

A shinobi is one who endures, 
Step by step 
Each second 
Monotony. 

Time is cruel
I feel the pain of my fellow man. 
Delusions of our grandeur, 
Sapiens
A war cry against final finality. 

The sum of all things yet to be, 
Time marches. 
How strange is it
Yet unremarkable. 
The drums beat. 
A steady tempo. 
Yes, 

Time marches.
 
Universal symphony 
Yet not universal
A relative God
Subjective objectivity, 
A grand illusion. 
A steady
Pulse 
Throbs. 
Can you hear the song? 

A siren song of humanity 
Of endurance, 
Trials fought
Yet all for naught. 
Remember me
The ancient cry
Sapiens

    The first few lines drew me into a very thought provoking and enjoyable read! A grand illusion indeed.

    Glad you enjoyed it. What do you think about the flow if you dont mind me asking. I normally use full sentences but i decided to see how this would turn out if it was read with the single line pauses for emphasis

    I do enjoy the flow as well. You developed a nice meter and continued along, as in a deep conversation telling a splendid story. Nice work.
