The Unanswerables

Life is made of the unanswerables

Because they are everywhere

Because everything we know has a root cause

And every root cause has another

Until there is no cause,

There just is

"Why do we exist?"

"Why is everything the way it is?"

Scientists have theories, and so do religions, 

But there is only one truth in the sea of whys,

Because sometimes things just are

And the only right answer is what you believe

Because humans don't do well with the unanswerables

So we pray to gods and teach our own truths

Because sometimes the root cause must be what feels right to you

    How he won again

    I don't think I want to understand

  • Halloween

    I miss Halloween

    Not because it changed

    But I did

    I miss going with my parents and my brother

    And stuffing my face with candy

    I miss meticulously planning out a costume

  • The Season of Death

    Death reaches his hands

    Shrivels leaves

    Rips them up

    Soon the ghosts and ghouls will scream

    They've waited all year for Halloween

     But this death is not a scary thought

    In fact it's comforting
