"A Silly Dream" - Poem by BW Derge from "Everywhere But Elsewhere" - written in 2010

A Silly Dream

Survival will be inevitable.

These bones know no nothing else.

Even if eyes no longer see me,

This blood will still pulse.

For existing is inevitable

And death’s a silly dream,

How sad this silly life is-

Come with me to nothing!

I don’t know what to think

Because I don’t know what’s real.

God is everywhere but elsewhere,

And I don’t know how to feel…

For I know the world is sick.

Cruel throughout,

And I know love is beautiful-

But when poles mesh…

Which devil should I follow?

Goats claim love can guide me,

Crows warn of what hell will kill me-

Either way, I am nothing.

No dogma can affect me

For forever is impossible-

But we always seem to still dream

Our silly little dreams-
