Life and Futility

17 March 2026

We are but a glimpse of time
The future holds, the past lies
What we are is what was, not what is
We might shine like fire but we're in ashes
For all I see is what will be
We are but a glimpse of time.

I wrote this four years ago. I don't think I believe all of it anymore. But here you go, unedited.
