#upstream
Like swimming upstream,
Going against the grain,
Walking through a festival's crowd,
I cut into the package,
But I couldn't get through.
It was stuck.
Pressure
Would not
Suffice,
So it
Snapped.

your veins are my rivers
and i'm swimming upstream.

Humanity swims upstream,
Like a nurturing moment.
Ever wanting to be more, but
Finding the struggle hard.
Seeding the streams of life,
With those that sank below.
But we swim, and keep on
Up the stream to find our goal.
The waters become calmer as
We are now within our moment.
We were many but some welcomed
The quiet and peace that came.
We were humanity swimming,
always fighting going upstream.
But with all journeys some unexpected
Happenings come around the bend.
As we swam never seeing what was
Ahead, humanities enviable end.
We had submerged ourselves, but it
Was our time to now fall.
Screams were heard in the distance,
But we swam over the edge of life.
The waterfall of extinction had come,
And we fell, all to the silence below.
