and take a breath,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

the world may pass<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

and have its death,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

but long lives legacy <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

as certain and divine<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

in unstoppable forces<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

drawing mathematical lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Lines in the sand. Legs that don’t stand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Destiny may not exist,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

but continuity<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

will not be missed<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

by cycles and silence,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

by evolving, our world<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

doesn’t need us there<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

but it certainly will<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

ask for balance, and fair,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

but once we forget<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

those unstoppable forces<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

is the day we allow<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

evolution its courses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Correction. Scour. Purge and restore.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Pulses of life<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

may go on their way<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

but if we refuse change<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

then we relinquish our say.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Revolve, on to endings<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

is how it all goes,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

while expanding beyond<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

our uncertain hopes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The universe wills<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

what none of us wants,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

a tiny blue dot<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

that insignificance taunts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

And why do we strive<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

for that legacy, bare?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Our selfish design<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

against the other, we scare.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

So tear apart lands<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

and rip apart people,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

the universe moves<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

whether or not we are equal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Evolve, not despair<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

in this cracked, drying desert,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

and pull in the air,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

that the forces will hurt.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Correct, or do not,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

that <\/em>certainly matters<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

in a universe, growing,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

to see selfishness scatter.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
