All there is
to life is to live;
the meaning;
the sole purpose,
yet the dysphoria
of the self-aware
beast stalks him,
the prey of Knowledge!
Accursed Knowledge!
Now disease-stricken,
he meanders
the malign world,
floating on a
sphere of derangement
in the void of space;
consumed by
an inexplicable yearning
for a truth that never was.
The warmth of happiness
is absent in the one
who has introspectively
peered too deeply.
