Us All

It comes for Us all, no matter our past, The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful alike. No stone left unturned, No darkness unlit, Hide you may try, yet endless the sight.

A life loved, a million moments shared, Smiles and Tears, both in sadness and for joy, The cup was half-full until it was knocked, And on the ground in a thousand pieces lay.

A life despised, every moment with pain, No Family to love, No Friends to care, The glass mostly empty and cupboards all bare, No victory speech as the end appears.

Meaning may be more, but it is all meaningless, The Bright and the Fools fall just the same. We can Lift the Stones, and Light the Dark, But never enough to escape our Fate.

    The verse that stood out the most for me is Meaning may be more, but it is all meaningless.

    I think we sometimes reach a point in our lives when we realize the futility of many of the things we're chasing don't really matter in the grand scheme of life.

    I like how enigmatic this poem is, and how that leads to a kind of duality. It obviously beats around the themes of death, but in a way, it doesn't necessarily make life out to always be better. "A life despised, every moment with pain." It's the hurt of not dying.

    "Escaping our fate*

    I am not sure whether it is fate, but I couldn't change some things in my life till now, and I don't know whether I will be in the future. I call it being lucky in life though.

    Dear @tarazkp ! How would you tell Smallsteps about your life?

  • @urrirru(65)· 485d

    A good poem, but a bit dark. Over the years I have come to the idea that the end is different for all of us. And there is something else beyond the end.

    That is where my limitations come into play, I can't understand poetry no matter how much I try 😀

  • @janitzearratia(73)· 485d

    The concentric circle of life Mr. Tarazkp, who is the only one capable of defeating death, giving eternal circularity to life. Death transcends us and somehow helps us overcome time.

    My grandfather recently passed away and though I wasn't close to him it did send my mind to some similar places as this poem.

    Taxes? ;)

  • @patar-star(48)· 485d

    There's a really great Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "Death is not the end". I love the finality and inevitable ending you poem has.

  • @toluwanispecial(71)· 485d

    Death is inevitable, and it is something we all face. No matter how we live, whether we are kind or cruel, rich or struggling, it comes for everyone. It also doesn't matter about the race or colour.

    The part i like most is where you made contrast different lives: one filled with love and joy, the other with pain and loneliness.
