There exists on Earth
A hole deeper than Hell
A hole carved by the masses
Carved for the dead to dwell

And so,
Life continues
And those who don’t
Slip

Slipping down a hill of
People
Sliding down the hole
Falling to their hell

And in hell lies torture
A pain unknown to most
A pain that you can not feel
Until it is too late

And so,
Life continues
And those who do
Learn

Learning to fly
Soaring out of the hole
Touching the sky
Finally freeing their soul

And so,
Life continues
A void of itself
With few lights

Lights that show the dull
Without them, it’d be normal
Now, you, let them cull
So this doesn’t remain formal

Let life continue
With new light
The light of course
Being you

Biography: Howard Gardner has currently identified 9 types of intelligence; the newest one being existential intelligence. This intelligence has grown in me over the last couple of years and has come to dominate much of my thinking processes. Much of the writing I do today reflects this. I want to show these concepts I have constantly flowing in the river of my mind. I mostly write prose. But I sat down one night and wrote the poem I have featured on the Aims Review. “Life Continues” reflects a huge part of my life philosophy.”
