Few people realize that man has already attained immortality; it's merely been abused, forgotten, and renamed Writing. -Brian Egan

The Valley

Break the dams
and flood this valley of ignorance

Let the tides and eddies
tear at the pages of our lives
Let the books be drowned
in the rush of new light

Words that never gave hope
but in that which fades
How is it that we know so much
yet understand so little?

Damn the breaks
and close this valley of ignorance

  1. I c wut u did thar. Very nice reversal, I like how you change the meaning using the same words. Also, I love the meaning and contrast this poem presents.
