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.”
