"You want weapons? We're in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world!" -The Doctor


would you live forever if you could
would you watch as your world died
as everything you knew came to an end
i find myself quite sure i would not

time is a mysterious thing to humans
we think our time is forever
but when we are gone and buried
the world goes on and forgets us

time leaves us all behind eventually
it will keep going even after we die
time ticks on until the end of reality
would you want to see the end of time


The author's comments:

I wrote this after a thought provoking discussion on immortality, youth, and beauty in English class. I hope to get people to think about the price of immortality, and what it actually means in the context of the real world.
