Doom

Doom,

We walk towards thy gate,

side by side, with Destiny,

and despair...

 

Doom, your benevolence is great,

to let the children outside play;

Yet the Sun

must surely go.

 

Doom,

more than Death,

am I not doomed merry dreams?

or Merry Times?

 

Doom,

are you so bad,

as to rupture the rose

that sprouts on sacred soil?

 

I think not,

for as I look to thee,

you are speculated as a tangled knot,

and just simplified as a misery to be..

 

But who are we to change fate?

Less war and evil rage on with hate?

Then god might come lessened and late

and spiral us into an perpetual state?

 

Who are we to change the Earth

that is ever more patient and disputable

than our clustered minds

like musicals?

 

Who are we to undo hell

to unleash the thieves and liars fell

upon the sacred land of God

whence fair and innocence mindlessly trod?

 

Who are we to shape the Sun

so that it exists and is never undone?

To breathe the open-aired light of day

to fool our minds, to celebrate and sway?

 

We are but peasants, mindless, and few

that from which a starry void did send us through,

and so we were, and so we are, from dust to dust,

doom is then, doom is there, and alone it cannot rust!
