A Question For the Ages

Writers need be
the creators of new cliche's.

Our common grounds,
adverse,
we've heard each one bathe in cynicism.

They're a subtle melody
of melancholy in the ear.

Society fails to change.

Dead philosophers, scholars,
and poets who convey truth.
They conveyed it best.
Forgotten,
a million years behind,
messages,
hints to heart,
truth mattered.

To each of them a purpose,
and what of us?

Suffering from insomnia:

How're we to be...
A gleam of light-
from 3 A.M. darkness?
