Undefeated

how did it ever come down to this?

out here in this eternal emptiness

with no way back home;

what river is this?

traveling endlessly

with no distant shores in sight;

we sell our lives without a clue

what it is we are selling,

never knowing

the true value of that

which cannot be bought,

destroying all

that is not known,

never understanding silent truths

which cannot be explained,

searching for answers

without any questions;

trying so desperately to defeat that

which cannot be defeated.
