A thousand years

spend a thousand years to think, take your time and ponder
a million days had passed before, now take your mind beyond
the walk of life has taken you, far away but no further than your beginning
have you learned?
have you heard, smelt touched and tasted, have you seen
do your eyes see anymore? have you thought
deeper than your deepest thoughts, beyond the walls that keep you here
is your mind caged?
are you caged by your mind or your mind caged by your world
the people around you, are they real, do they hold true existence within their limbs?
listen to your sinew, it will tell its tale, the earth and sky and all between a million tales
think of your achievments, are you proud, will you remember, will you remember when your walk is over? will others remember or will you be gone?
should you care? thats not how it seems, you were not asked to exist but simply forced into it, or were you eazed into existence
Who knows?
do you remember your first breath?
do you remember the first surge of energy, the one that brought you life
do you know how you were created, do you crudely pretend to understand
a whisper on the wind, a scream under water
nothing is truly clear, your senses will fool you, but will your sense bring you knowledge, will it remind you of your fabric
fabric, the fabric of time, the fabric of flesh, all fabric, it can be unwoven, re-woven and it can be torn
but what do we know, should we live a life with no meaning, with no direction, do you create your own direction?
do you understand your direction, where do you think your walk will take you?
it will not take you very far, no matter how fast you walk, or for how long, you will end up in the same place.
with your dieing breath you will surely remember the beginning, you will remember and be forgotten
but what does it matter, noone else really thinks about it, noone else really cares, just accept what others say, just forget that your life will end and spend your walk enjoying as many sights as you can see
fair enough i say, but if you look closely that isnt what people do, they just sacrifice and sacrifice, learning to accept the way they make things
are you one of those people?
do you think that you aren't because i doubt you will go against the flow, noone likes to go against the flow of others
i dont know if it is just me that feels this way, or if many people do
but what do i know, what do you
i dont think we will ever know
