Needless Cause

Bloody Mess Solkoll [Public domain]

“[…]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
― Jack Kerouac

if not anything else

we did give a good fight

we kept planting seeds of rain

infront of an ever expanding desert

we let the vultures hear songs

that do not need flesh to fly

we are the numb fighters of a needless cause

we are the defeated ones of an enlightening madness
