The Points
Struggling to rise
Struggling to achieve
Struggling to stay adrift
Struggling to accomplish
The point?
This incredulous life
To be birthed
To later die?
Why we must push so hard
With worn and calloused hands
Withering in the darkness
Waning under insecurities
Pentagrammatic encompassing
Persons in sync with water, wind, fire, earth
Perpetuating singularity
Parabolic travels to the same locale
We must deal with the shit
Where the flowers bloom
Without the pain
Water lilies cannot float
Germinate
Grow
Gather
Gain
Five points in all
For two your hands
For two your feet
Foremost your head to utilize the others
Knowledge kept in a limitless case
Knocking on the doors of the world
Kneeling to the concrete and abstract
Killing the thoughts of won’t
The points?
There are five
To limit oneself
There does not exist
