    Lives Lost Forever
    Shadows fading before awaiting eyes
    Wanting, yearning, to see no lives

    Of all that was there, of all that has been
    But, now, we cannot see more than our kin

    Life all around us seems broken and bare
    No promises, no words, no secrets to share

    For all of our lives are just dancing mist
    They will be forgotten, wiped from the midst

    Barely any names will be remembered
    Thought of from the past of those who have rendered

    Working, striving towards a goal
    Who will remember, in a hundred years, though?

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
