"Who was Ozymandias
The Lord of Lords?
All his works are gone.
Beyond all, he despairs."
"What is to live?
To live is to dream.
What is death?
And endless dream."
"First was the Bang, But entropy followed.
Gods die as do worlds.
Last falls creation."
"Blood falls.
Red on the snow.
A child cries.
Another dies."
"Whence was the word?
The word is now.
When is the Crusade?
The Jihad begins now."
"Love is infinite.
Hate is endless.
Beauty is both."
"Beauty burns stars away.
Wrath burns the sun away.
The wife burns the man away."
"A moment of perfect fear, rare beyond compare.
6 million more cry.
The moment passes".
"A myriad worlds.
A thousand stars.
The Universe grows
And there was Mars"
"A hundred Worms crawl.
A million beetles squirm.
Earth falls on the man
Bones bleach alone."
ALT versions:
"What is to live?
To live is to dream.
What is to die?
And endless dream."
"Where lies Ozymandias once King of kings?
All look but his works are gone.
Beyond all, they lie.
Beyond human despair lie they."
Please don't laugh too hard, this is my first attempt at writing Poems/Haikus/anything in between Ever, and I haven't read more than 3-4 poems in the past 3 years or so
(I wrote these all last night)
