Just your existence itself is beautiful


Today the sunset was not beautiful
It was lost behind the grey expanse
That poured down the tears of God
Onto the land that caused them

 

Today I lost purpose in life
And Elvis died
His voice echoed in me
Behind the magical green liquidial valves he was alive

 

Today the news came on at 7
Like every other day
More tragedies, more death, more pain, more suffering
And a lawn mower for sale

 

Today I was shaking
As I addressed the young children
My hands could not hold a pen
My demented old brain could not hold the words

 

Today they buried me
Some more tears poured onto the land that caused them
They’ll remember me for a few more days
Before I vaporise into a memory

 

Behind the green liquidial valves I was dead

Inspired by a day when the sunset was really not beautiful, and nostalgia for a time where I did not even exist.
