"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." - Albert Einstein


Time flows like the ocean across the sands of life

Washing away all the pain and all the strife

War, love, peace, and hate

Would all quickly end with no debate

For as time washes away all of the lives

We all part and say our final goodbyes

And the world sits silent, waiting in awe

As a brand new god lays down a brand new law

And finally it makes new life

Father, son, daughter, and wife

Once again life doth repeat

Until the water of time no longer retreat


The author's comments:

I am often inspired by the idea of an end day, but in my opinion that isn't all bad. As one empire falls another rises, it's history in a nutshell. In this poem I try to show that a little bit, and I hope people see that the end is just a new beginning.
