Come Sweet Unknown.

By Dancing_Monkey

I stand here to challenge;
Intolerant
In desire, come sweet eluminess fire
Years of hollow eyes, lack of fulfillment
A seaker of wisdom, whereby need of awareness
Clouds do gather, be they blackend or not
Life giving whines become to entangle
My prospering self, dwell;
Shivering, as I seek
To take a stand, firsthand
A life of illusions crave for yet another
This burdensome task I wielded;
Upon myself, a extinguished path.

    Fucking rocked and not a line out of place. This was Shakespeare for the noughties, a cry to shake off our comforts sought from capitalism and head to a braver newer world. Wonderful :)

    I come here so often; and leave so few words - what words could be left; not worldessness for that is silence - but perhaps an inability of expression - of complete conception...unknowing...

    Fuckin' powerful. Reminds me of myself, and how I feel, everyday. I believe in fate, and I don't feel like I have fulfilled my purpose in life yet, and I feel that I am unimportant until I have. You never know, maybe this is my purpose.
