5275. WHILE ALL IT MAY HAVE BEEN

WHILE ALL IT MAY HAVE BEEN

While all it may have been is over now, the world

will still go on  -  vast and deep, the pockets of

missing things, but no mention will be made. Things 

fade, and drift away. Like celebrating a war from a 

very long time ago, no one really understands the issue

anymore. Why fight, but we fight. Why celebrate, then,

that which we do not know : bent-elbow, crooked old

men, saluting the fearsome flag of their soil. They say.

-

Here, here the riverboat leans in the water, and 

someone else is drifting away. While all it may

have been is over, the world itself will stay.
