The World As I Know It

It's a funny little thing,
This realm of the living,
Where anything is everything,
Everything nothing
And why's it so, nobody knows!

Great lives are lead,
Great leaders they tread,
But footprints never stay,
Blind still we tackle the way
And we wander, aye without a clue we wander!

Glorious edifices to rival all Creation,
Giant monstrosities defying Imagination,
But the elements still hold sway,
Bit by bit they crumble each day
And we sing paeans to glory, fools that we be!

Grand thoughts and theories that simply amaze,
Grandstanding grandiloquence that puts us in a daze,
But the ether still cloaks many a mystery,
Blurs what is myth and which's history
And we still drift aimless, amidst dazzling infinity!

Grown we have and still we stride on,
Glory awaits us at the break of a new dawn,
But those whom we crushed weigh down our feet,
Bare inches away from where sky and earth meet
And we bemoan fate, doused in blood and misery!

It's a funny little thing, 
This realm of the living,
Where anything is everything,
Everything nothing
And why's it so, nobody knows!
