A World Square Rooted

For as long as we live

I will not wish

upon myself

or anyone else

that premature

death, to forget....

exponentially

elders say

it's built in

as mechanism

for our survival

that we shall neglect

the pain of our labor...

of work or war or birth

focus instead on

the by product,

the aftermath,

of less is more

and remember

ever after

life would be unbearable no?

in great detail

it's best then

to let it go...

to die little by little

to the highest power

of the unknown.
