Nihilism

by SangAndTranen

(Maybe don't read this one if you are feeling low) There’s an infinite difference between living and surviving, We live by striving, pushing, thriving. We survive by breathing, eating, sleeping, But just surviving leaves us void of dreaming. You give so much and you get none back, It’s funny how the world works like that. We collect in a crowd, a silent swarm, The more people are around us, the less are warm. We are lost in a sea of miserable minds, Making money to pass the time. And all that time you do what you hate, Are years of your life you don’t hesitate to waste. Born to grow up and do some job, That’s just the way it always was. This is the way they have made our lives, You have no control, we’re all deprived. Your country wants war, but you do not? Sorry pal, that’s real tough luck. Because of people you don’t even know, Your family will be slaughtered, and so will you. It’s funny how the world is this way, Going through the motions every day. It makes me wonder, are we really living? Or do we just survive only to end up dying?
