More Poetry Terrorism!

Here's a couple more poems I wrote sometime back. Fuck knows when, nor why.

Why Do I Even Try

But though I try and not succeed,
I will try and try and try… till the day I die.

To lament without trying to prevent or invent
is to be a person without intention to better oneself,
To lament after trying to prevent or invent
is to be me when I give in and give up.


Profundis

The profound is not something commonly found.
The elusive is only elusive because we cannot find it.
Wisdom comes indeed with age, but only in part.
Some scorn the youth with the disadvantages of youth,
But I say let the youth cherish its naiveté, let the youth be the youth.
Wisdom comes indeed with age, the other part is naiveté.
