Some poetry

[Finch]

Came to me all at once while battling insomnia. Needs work, but I feel good about the concept. Will be posting more soon

"Ignorance"
​

The sweet release of some subtle knowing;
Our simple lives chalked with a steadfast growing;
That it all leads back to the same starting measure;
To reap a disease we've all been sowing

The poisoned wells that are our life's water;
Have drowned all our fathers, our mothers, our daughters;
Our sons, with little left in between;
To sell ourselves to the dreams we'll martyr

Pride and prejudice, whim and wonder;
Defining one another from the bridges asunder;
We'll walk together to that bright, shining Sun;
Never to realize the plight of our blunder

Nothing will end and nothing to start;
Hand-in-hand victims to the lives torn apart;
The times we'll share and the rivers of emotion;
Mean nothing to us, we are not so smart​

Doing some research on Egyptian mythology recently because I realized I'm fascinated. Want to start a running series of poems based off the Gods. Tell me what you think!

"Nun, Inert"
​

Behold and revel
The primordial sea
His watery chest, a womb
The Father of the Gods, life and death

The snake consumes frog
Nunet to Nun, ingest
The frog to evade the snake
Thus, paradox is forever

From deep down below
An azure hymn sung loud
Heard through the ripples of land
Heard through the wintry ocean tide

Atum, Creation
There dwells the inner self
Something born of nothing reigns
Through the tears, humanity born

Dripping self, yet dry
A single mound of land
To house little worshipers
Bound to drowning life's bloodletting

And Lo', will time split
Will tangible become
And intangible, slightly
Be held together, fused as one

And how deep the drink
And how fair the orange sky
And how noisy the land's shout
And how dark the night will become
