Scream into a Void

We've no answers, with even fewer questions
As we sit still in stainless steel, silent homes
If smiling, no understanding of consequences
With no chance to live, we'll not mind dying
Screaming into the void, sound returns as lost
As we float into the nothingness, senses lying
Offering only false hope and dreams, cold denial
If we then swim in the emptiness of existence
We will be just as cursed as the albatross
If life is worthless and nothing has value
Now, witness our fall into the chasm and abyss
Existence is failing, but if nothing has worth
Nothing can be counted as loss

“I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something
about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is
purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.”
