HUMANITY'S SUPPOSED LAMENT <br /> <br />At the end of us <br />Will come another kind of thing <br />What it will be <br />Will be nothing for us <br />For we will not be- <br /> <br />We thought we were the beginning <br />And the end of it all <br />But we are only a passing stage <br />A bridge to what we will never know- <br /> <br />When we go <br />Whatever there is <br />Can choose to remember or forget us- <br /> <br />But we will not be the beginning and end <br />Of everything- <br /> <br />We were not nothing- <br /> <br />We were a stage in the middle <br />An important stage- <br /> <br />But soon we will be done <br />Goodbye to us <br />And all we love- <br /> <br />Goodbye to us <br />We'll soon be gone.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/humanity-s-supposed-lament/
