Life-Death Forgotten, Never Was; <br />Time, matter whirling, empty space. <br />Love, merely hunger, drives us on; <br />Self, ever lonely, rots apace. <br />God, faintly ruling, far away, <br />Sees sinful, lusty liars pray. <br />Vague faceless ocean, <br />Blackest Light; <br />Nothing tells us what is Right. <br />Life is but a Game we Play; <br />Death no more than end of Day, <br />Forgotten. <br /> <br /> (Yet Remembered, <br />With Hope) .<br /><br />Paul Butters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/game-of-never/
