Perpetual Notion

Give us your potions
To conceal the decay
A never ending tomorrow
And a forgotten today
An extended stay
In the arms of security
A fear of the unknown
And the slow death of longevity
You have yet to understand existence
Tell me what’s so grand about infinity
When time is defied
(a product in the making)
All reason goes blind
(to sell to the weaker)
And if we deny
(victims of nature)
The meaning of life
(to extend the lie)
What will there be left
For us to preserve
Come drown in the fountain
Submit to the water’s grasp
Sleepwalking through ages
No thought of collapse
Embers glow — hanging on
Slips smoke to the sky
An act of The Futile
To blink the mind’s eye
You have yet to understand existence
Tell me what’s so great about infinity
When time is defied
(a product in the making)
All reason goes blind
(to sell to the weaker)
And if we deny
(victims of nature)
The meaning of life
(to extend the lie)
What will there be left
For us to preserve
With no final words
To bring meaning to death
Will we ever accept the end?
