Passage

-
Here today, I’ll be gone tomorrow.
But clocks will chime on unperturbed,
Hardly noticing my absence,
They never registered my presence in the first place;

The earth will keep spinning on,
Apples will continue falling for gravity,
Men will continue sparring,
And loving,
And doing a hundred trivial things,
Hardly noticing my absence,
They never registered my presence in the first place…

Malevolence or probably benevolence I imagined it was,
But indifference is what it really is,
Inconsequential speck of dust in the real scheme,
I’m here today, I’ll be lost tomorrow.
