POEM - There is Nothing But the Void



There is thinking and no thinker to be found.
There is suffering and more suffering coming ‘round,
What once was found will again be lost,
Pleasures abound, but at what cost?

The boar eats the cock that eats the snake that eats the boar,
If you don’t understand then you’re not keeping score,
All is conditioned, dependently co-arising and sick,
Beginningless, endless suffering on your shoulders—so you be quick!

The blood of your past sorrows could fill the deepest seas,
Your vibrant frame will succumb to sickness and disease,
Not because you’ve sinned, nor because of God’s wrath,
But merely because you woke up one day along this beaten path,

There is thinking but no thinker to be found,
There is suffering and more suffering coming ‘round,
Lifes metronome, Sorrow’s gavel , is relentlessly employed,
The constant, thunderous thump that attempts to fill the void,
There is thinking and no thinker but the void.
There is nothing but the void.
There is nothing but the void.
There is nothing but the void.
There is nothing but the void.

Poetry is cool and all but... boxed what is that? I don't get it. In my opinion it is void.
