Just lines in the sand
Why can't people understand,
Life is too short,
You get what you bought,
You, play your hand,
You land where you land
If it's in a pit with the shit,
Or on a stand looking grand
Whatever you be,
Wether in land
Or at sea,
A prostitute,
A paladin,
A man of god
Or a man of sin...
You get what you bought,
You land where you land,
Nothing matters,
Just lines in the sand.

Inhumanely reductivist and calmy logical at the same time. Though which one were you attempting to evoke out of interest? I like this piece but feel that it might be better with something about how lines in the sand are blown away and meaningless to reinforce the idea.

I think I was trying to apply calm logic to something that was making me feel passionate/overwhelmed.

i find
how long a life i live-
its when ideas of how
out or in things are, stay stagnant
that all goes by so fast...
but think
a child vulnerable and milked
every one of us have been
and all the lives in one we all had since then.
who i have been?
lines in the sand.
may a lovely breeze erase my lines
and feet draw me again

This is quite wafty, I like to think a good counter-point to my poem as I was trying to be succint and jarring.
