"A History of Time: Part 2"

The end of Time is a funny thing,
not at all what one expects.

Marx trusted the masses with his manifesto morality play
They fought and bled, only to find Time still waiting.
Apocalypse is the order for many a Christian soul
but what use has Time for damnation?
(need to rework the last two lines)

The Vikings gave it a mighty go,
Raiding and raping, Armageddon was their Vogue.
but Loki had one final trick - failing to ever show.
Doomsday is nigh Nostradamus claimed to know
Time ended him, but did not follow suit
Fear not, perhaps the Mayans will satisfy.

No the end of Time is a simple thing,
requiring no mystical beings, no prophesy.
It is closing the eyes...
ceasing to think all of that.

"Doppelganger"

His implacable face stares back at me,
with eyes that deign not to see.
His body is cloaked with indifference,
armor clad in apathy.

I would give a penny for His thoughts,
if He would chance thought.
I would walk a mile in His shoes,
if He would but walk a mile.

I wish I could save this man and set Him free.
I wish I had not realized - he is Me.

Chapter One: The Creation Story

Winston Churchill once said "If you are going through Hell, keep going" to which I must add "keep writing". My life has, at times, been a very trying ordeal and as I seek to better myself, I have turned to poetry as a means of expression.

Essentially, this blog is an outlet for my outlets; an area for me to post my poetry and other snippets of writing. I hope my pieces amuse, entertain, and interest as appropriate and I welcome any feedback.
