Deep Darkness

It is a short poem, and I did come it off the top of my head a while ago, but despite its shortness and not too great quality, I do like it, and I hope you do, too.

Deep darkness
To revel in it
Enjoy it
What we live for
Because anything
else we do
you take away
what do you
have to say
for yourself?

Author's Note

This was not meant to be professional, I made it off the top of my head.

I like the accusatory tone. It is directed, as with all proper anger, at the world in general. It is the cry of the extremist who was forced into it by circumstances which denied anything but the extreme edges or the extreme middle-ground. And some of us just don't want to compromise ourselves into numbness (although I'm not interested in over-indulging myself into numbness either -- hey, what DO I want?).

I feel that what you are saying relates to this video clip of a comedy sketch show. Even though it is comedy, it is very philosophical:

The relationship is not so much one of tone, but is to do with a feeling of how the adult world prepares you first and foremost to feel undervalued.

Thanks for the review! I found the video not only entertaining, but interesting, as it provides a great philosophy, that indeed, was similar to what I was going for in the poem. Once again, thank you.
