There exists a fate worse than death; that is life. O what a torturous thing it is; where brutality lurks in every aspect of breathing—of beating. The thumping is a ticking clock. It is a constant reminder of time; reassurance in that life does, indeed, have an end. Eventually, the breathing will cease, and the bloody countdown of the drumming will be done. One day it'll all be over. In time, the suffering proves only temporary. Alas! Until the very end, we're doomed to endure the daily pain associated with being. Living on this dying planet is cruel and unusual punishment. Bigotry, hatred, violence, envy and evil linger everywhere imaginable. There is no escape. There is nothing to alleviate, but a fatal bullet, noose or gash. No way out but this. Survival is worse than death. The burden of the beating will continue, until the pulse and pain, thereafter, subside in turn.

Well, I wrote this when someone told me to write out my feelings and thoughts on the world of today. The worst thing about it. Voila! Yeah...... not very otimistic... but true- through and through... I might use it as an intro to a story.... TONS of foreshadowing, hm?

Your Thoughts?

:iconsadnod: mmhm.... ^^; and if it seems emo, blame my recent addiction to Edgar Allan Poe.....

but you know.... living is what makes dying worth while... that way, achieving true perfection in heaven will seem even MORE amazing. :D That's the glass half full outlook at least.

Those are all EPIC poems, and stories! I'd have to say that I like The Raven best also, no surprise there, who doesn't? Though, I have to say that my favorite of his stories is The Murders in the Rue Morgue. That one if fantastic! My sister read it to me when I was 8, and it's just kinda stuck. . . lol. Have you read that one?

Oh yes!!! That one's really great! Though, I'm not sure what it was about The Cask of Amontillado...... but.... for some dark and twisted reason, when I had first read it, I found Montresor attractive... XD So.... That one, and.... The Tell-Tale Heart!!! I love that one too!
