I saw the inevitable;
A generation destroyed
And I mourned the constellation

I cannot help but look down
At the immoral
And think

Are you not upset?

So I sit
On the galaxy’s edge
And watch the stars combust

Into the black holes
Of the neon dust

Gently it goes - the necessary, the predictable, the fatal

I’m running out of places
To hide from myself

Love and fire are equals.
You may come close,
and be warmed in comforting arms—
but getting too near
will always
burn
you.

Time used to breathe, like us.
But then we turned it into sand
we turned it into a commodity,
something that can be spent, wasted, served
We shackle our wrists with it.

I wish sometimes that we can go back
to a time where time just is
where you can 'waste' a day
doing whatever makes you happy
and not feel ashamed.
A lot of this poem is from a Vsauce video! Not completely original workk.
