The Ultimate End......edit.....

Eighty three years lapsed
moved along side the rivers
Thames
Mississippi
Rhine
finally may be
Nile..

at times we swam
many times sat along the banks
then pulled out our verbal swords.... ....

man come out
let's sort all out..
some vanish
many banish
then comes the finality
all have left you bereft

but now all alone
like in a cradle helpless
Solve all these strives
once alive

for when the last one has also gone
all will realise
the futility of a long drawn
snarling life

let's try and live
with love whilst alive
what will you and we do
when all is ashes or burried

This reads...

like an ambiguous, sword-waving-soldier that wades in many waters. Or maybe an alien looking to root out the last of mankind after a long and bloody war, wondering what he will do after the last of the enemy is dead. Good story! ~ Geez.

The Ultimate End

Hi, Lovedly,
It seems this is a futile battle with the final realization that nothing was worth death, and that love should have been the solution. I don't recall reading anything like this from you before. It feels like there should be more to this story.

let more read Lav

Then I will try and clarify
the legacy struggle in richer families
appear like a malady
Save their greed and sin
