+Joy of the grind
+---
+Life is but a long farewell
+Clawing at eternity's shell
+A hopeless fight face entropy's might
+This fleeting hare brings grave dispair
+But pointless is our daily dread
+Of closing circuit in our bed
+So keep the pennies on the shelf
+Existance is the prize itself
+
+---
+Emperors summer
+---
+Of what ego did Augustus suffer
+To name the month of dermic blusher
+Did Julius reap the wheat himself
+To name month fore weodmonath
+Did butterflies of light divine
+Flutter through their regal shine
+Or was it summer's extasy
+That lent this insight pleasantly
+Make down the ages people utter
+Their names while bathing golden butter
+
+---
+The universe observing
+---
+The redshift of dim distant light
+A foetus of the first bomb site
+The universe's shock debut
+Cast baryons, then me and you
+Our evoluted thought process
+Shaped science and our mind's egress
+Man looked upon the pale redshift
+And thus the cosmic mirror gift
+Of universe's constant oeuvre
+Enabling it to self observe
+
+
+---
+A pointless myth
+---
+I don't have the propensity
+To appreciate god's density
+To me the ecsis of humanity
+Has no need of an almighty
+Beliefs don't fly, they're all at sea
+Comfort for some, a spirits decree
+Cannot escape the reality
+That life that's born of chemistry
+Can assemble someone just like me
+
+
+---
+Slices of a giant
+---
+Mangled by biting teeth of iron
+A giant falls impotent, still
+The forest witnessed its lost scion
+Dragged through ferns its lignin shell
+Hefted, chained to diesel barrow
+Sectioned and reduced by mill
+No longer heard the song of sparrow
+Shaped and nailed to form man's will
+
+---
