Set Free

This poem is about letting go of that self conflict that we all seem to have to deal with

What if.. 

What if we sat at a table surrounded by calamity 

The end of man kind and all its depravity 

What would..

What would you say to the person on your left 

Are there any words even left to express

How..

How you lived a full happy life

Was life the greatest gift that you've ever received 

If not..

If not for this sudden series of events

That is causing our world to end

Would you.. 

Would you collect memories of all that went wrong

Fix them and make the good list long

And now..

Now during our last meal as the oceans claim the shores 

Are we going to talk about how we could have done more

I know..

I know i'd rather not

Cheers brother and sisters, mothers and fathers, lovers and sinners 

If it's all over tonight

Lets go quiet, peaceful, smiling even

For heaven is what we make it to be, heaven is this table. 

This table that consists of people about to be Set Free~

Wow this is a really almost darkly beautiful poem about death. A personal favourite. You speak of death as a peaceful event, of being "let free." Not of death and despair that it is normally set out to be.
Sitting around a table with, strangers maybe? Knowing you are about to die. Its a really crazy thought to think of and quite intimidating. Really great job putting this all together, but I still have one question that puzzles me, if you don't mind me asking, What provoked you to write this? I can typically decipher the meaning/message behind writing, but i can't with yours. It leaves me with a sort of empty mysterious feeling. Incredible poem

Thank you for the amazing review, it was the song I used in the poem itself that inspired me..I was sitting at my table drinking a cup of coffee wondering what it would be like if it was the end of the world and I had strangers sit besides me in these last moments. I first imagined it to be like a debate or fish market people screaming on the table and yelling and blaming each other and their gods then I realized how i'd want it to end and thus it became a poem.

Wow, very creative. The best writing always comes out of nowhere. Really great poem, unique idea I can't say i've read anything lately that has been even similar to this. Very well done

If we all attuned to the fact that we make errors and are one, we could probably heal such a huge divide, great piece xx
