life's a blast
by Ulyss RubeyTheir short
flash-in-the-pants lives
leave only smug marks
on the ceilings and walls
of history's halls...
meaningless muddles
marking the struggles
of empty spirits-
stripped of the what-could-have-been
by self-professed prophets
of the never-will-be
and self-opinionated historians
of the never-was.
