He looked down at the lives of men
with a sort of optimistic nihilism in his eyes,
and said,"Pray Tell, what have you to
worry so deeply and hurtfully".

"What could the world ever do to you,
that was worse than the lack of life itself."

He looked down at the elders,
worrying of their next wage
next plan ,next step.
To them life is Singular,
to lose once is to lose forever,
a dead end.

He looked down at their young
worrying of the present,
cursing life and not
looking ahead.

He stood defeated,troubled by that time
"To live is a blessing,not known
by many, a** Godsend**
"Enjoy it for what it's worth,
Infinite,and follow not the
the struggles of life but
it's bounties instead

He finally stood ,happy that he had
said all that could be said,
His life untethered,
His potential limitless.

We wish we could be
He of whom i speak but,
Alas!,He never truly existed.

the person looking down at humanity and seeing all the diff perspectives on life was a powerful image tbh

Thank you

seeing the elders worrying abt their next wage and the young cursing life was really sad, and the idea that there's someone out there who has it all figured out was really striking tooblursob

#

and the last line, that this person never really existed, was a bit of a gut punch tho. kinda made me feel like I was missing out on smt that I could never have(?

I wanted to speak on the fact that we all worry so much
and that in the grand schem of things our worry is misplaced

#

But in reality no one could ever truly free themselves that worry

#

thats why He could never really exist
