  Samsara

  Samsara.

  I had heard the word

  once before

  in a classroom

  of the world before.

  It was a class on religion,

  all of which I lost,

  when the first nuke

  between us and the Chinese was fired.

  And as I escaped

  up the hill

  I passed all these men

  and women

  and kids I had known

  from my neighborhood

  but only I was allowed in,

  and so I thought to myself,

  what God I could with myself reconcile,

  I had my fair share of sins,

  (to be fair, I had amassed quite a pile

  of sins), which I hoped that some god could forgive.

   

  And so as I went down, below the earth,

  I was reminded of that singular word.

  Some men in Asia thought it fine,

  that men should come back to earth multiple times,

  each time a different body in which to live,

  the same soul, reborn,

  and so, ravaged by fire within,

  the world was killed,

  but born again.
