Means to an End

Life Brings End As they run in this vain attempt to escape This prison of flesh and decay Afraid of their own Futility Some run, some chase For ages always the same Difference only within The means. They’re all just means to an end No justification needed All roads end the exact same way To begin again Fear Takes hold in the twilight All you hold dear Crumbles Weight unfelt Until the earth quakes The smallest line, Erased… Oh the triviality of time Magnified As the flesh pales Before the fall As the chapter reaches its end Closing this book Forever In the archives of existence Few tales are retold They’re all just means to an end Don’t fret, enjoy life instead One’s death won’t define their past For it all returns to dust.
