Risen

The many times I've succeeded
is nothing to the days I've been defeated.
The injured dog will lick his wounds,
the little boy will pick his scabs.

We're all such savage animus
showing teeth when we close our eyes
we're all counter-productive beings
who've just moved on beyond the paws.

I've never slept a day in my life
says the insomniac to the narcoleptic,
I haven't been awake in years,
and he envies him.

Days and nights fade to one
when Alaska conquers all
we'll freeze our asses off
and hell will be in ice

Fill the coffer and pick a side
but either way, the end is nigh
there's no books to tell you why
the fact is someday, you're going to die.

The minimalistic man lives unhindered
and strives to live each day to fruition.
Always get's joy out of simple things
and doesn't fear death for his mind is free.
