When you fall down a bottomless pit you die of starvation.


This is why humans are hypocrites
Asking one thing
Doing yet another
Tell you to do something
Yet not doing the same

This is why humans are idiots
Saying one thing
And not explaining
Asking you to remember
What they never said

This is why humans are dead
And I ask them to stop politely.
Yet they don't do the same.
And I give them help as they ask
And they don't accept

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper

I love your poem! The ending is amazing as I can imagine a person slowling echoing the words in my ear, until the world ends with the whimper.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Wow. This is absolutely, fantastic; I think it's perfect. I absolutely, love it. The emotions in your poem, are so raw. I just love it. Your thoughts are so profound and powerful; all in all, all of this was just incredibly powerful and amazing and phenomenal. You have such a talent and greatness and light in you; and you are an amazing and talented writer and person. Never forget that, for 'tis true. It is. Thank you so much, my friend!
