The Last Enemy





They say that there are cracks that leaks in into empty rooms
Corner-less and dark rooms long forgotten by sensible men
Echoes and sounds from the surrounding gets trapped and reaches nowhere

With a fathomless understanding of rusty deeds the seeking man is passing by these rooms
He doesn’t stop nor pay any interest in what the blackness behind a crack may hold
The only thing on his mind is the step that takes him past and out of sight

Lacking the meanest animal instinct of self preservation. A deep disregard for the being reflecting back
To not be proud of oneself and not at ease with ones nature or impulses
Qualities of nil that since a misty childhood always has lingered and irritated

Walking with a steady phase into the dark, no regrets and with a vision on complete darkness
Thoughts rushing by like low flying swallows, seeking deeper into the void
Echoes of past memories behind corners and bends that leads downward

Stop here, hear the heartbeat of death. Listen not, hear
Let your feet stand to feel the vibration of a living earth
Stop here, breath the fragrance of dead rock and decaying matter

The man under the parachute is always dead, falling controlled as he realize his fate
Acceptance of chaos, corner less dark rooms holds onto the myth that you once were
Illusion is the shadow that gives you movement in the light, you can touch it but it’s not there

Understand all, ignore nothing
Black rooms will forever be filled with the echoes and sounds of all easily forgotten
Seeking men seeking the man, he who knows that all is nothing
Forever is now
