Just give me a cause
Something worth fighting for
Something worth living for
Something worth dying for
For I would even settle
For worth trying for
Because none of it
Up to this point
Offered more
Than a daily distraction
To help me looked passed it
Neglect, disregard, and forget
How it happens
To pass before we even realize
It's gone
As it flashes before our sleeping eyes
See the dawn
And how many expire
And fade away lost
Without barely a scratch
On the surface of meaning
Will never cease to make me
Disbelieving
In whether this dreaming
Ephemeral state
Is bestowed upon us
To teach us how to wait
Patiently for salvation
Or flames in the furnace
Of Hell's conflagration
With only two options
Instilled upon birth
AN eternity spent
In some alternate Earth
What is anything worth?
Then again I must ask it
Just to find the answers
Are sealed in a casket
