POEM STARTER

Write an elegy about the death of something other than a person.

An elegy is a sad poem, traditionally expressing sorrow for someone who has passed away.

A requiem to Nietzche

The baby goes blind before he is able to see

And the turtle is eaten before he can reach the ocean

If life is unjust and meaningless

Then what need is there for this commotion


Humans climb the spiritual ladder rapidly

And one day find themselves on top of it

I ask what need is there for GOD

If Humans can become their own monolith


You yourself must have known

With this wicked nature that we have

That even what is taken

We will someday find a way to grab


As they took the fruit from the unwilling tree

As the mistakes of us all have sown division

I deem myself as responsible as the first two

Thus, I'll plead guilty to the murder of religion
