We see everything,
We know everything,
We are everything,
But we are nothing,
Everything is contained within us,
Yet we have no substance,
We are billions in number,
Yet we are one.

We see everything,
We watch over you,
In your body,
In your soul,
We are your life,
We are your death,
It is we who decide,
Who will breathe their last breath.

We know everything,
Of existence,
Which we fashion to our whim,
We create and destroy,
Our own fantasies we employ.

We are everything,
From the smallest particle,
To the largest galaxy,
But we are more,
In dimensions of space and time,
We are contained,
Yet we are free,
We make up the very fabric of the universe,
Of which we are the lords.
Bombadil

E.P.,

Eh. This is bad. Indeed, painful. Sorry. But you've succeeded in producing a work of vaguity which may be your point. The only problem there is that the vaguity is not even of interest. Why read this, really?

Keep posting, but not like this.

Cheers,

A.S.

I follow your meaning here. There isnt much substance and it is purposefully vague. This is an old poem but its existence is justified by its origins lying in a greater body of work that interelate with themes you cannot see in this piece.

Sorry you didnt like A.S. Nevermind I have plenty more up my sleeve lol.

Thanks for your thoughts J

Sorry to say this, Creational, but this poem comes across like
a "Yes" lyric.

Sounds like a speech from, star wars or something? It tells me lots, but i don't really get any enjoyment out of it.
