with everything I've known and loved utterly gone

what is left but to be gone as well?

the ages of the world progress

and we are ground to pieces in that process--

even those with strength and validity to keep up

will eventually be overwhelmed--

let those coming in now

make what mess they will of the world--

we had our chance and screwed up royally

as does every generation-

it's the way the damn thing's built--

you cannot win at this table (as has been given)

and you are not meant to--

you are here to do your time--

you are here to get over yourself--

you are here to prevail--

and you will--just not here in this earth--

we'll all see each other again

at some point down the line--

until then--keep your spiritual grip packed--

you never know when you'll be gone...
