Nothing
Location
To change the World would be a drastic thing
Who would be born?
Who wouldn't be?
Would I be here
Or would you
If the ancient past never came true?
Some see the world tainted and plagued
A soulless abyss of never ending falls.
Each of us grafted to the walls
Waiting our turn to dive down the well
To search for water
To escape the Hell
Many jump blindly
Without a friend
Not seeing the light
At the "endless tunnel's" end.
But we fell together,
Me and my Ben,
Holding a hand.
Bumping the walls.
Hitting our heads.
Like Humpty we went,
Without control,
But fast and farther
So long we forgot to fall
We learned to fly
And lost direction of down.
Forsaking North and South alltogether
We reached up
To touch the bottom of the well.
We won, We won
For the light drew near,
But Ben's blind eye couldn't see
The door's sinsle frame for either he or me.
To change the World
Such a drastic thing.
I simply need to change the shape
Of my door of opportunity.
They say life goes on,
But life is ending.
And I realize now
My time to choose is waning.
So I chose to change the World
My descendants gone,
Ben's now living.
I took the door,
And let he be free
So Ben might see
A little more light
A little less
Nothing.
