Where is Oblivion?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Oblivion concludes itself as
a space that is gone,
A substance that is no longer;
and a string with no end.
It is a chain with no links.
A walk in space
With nowhere to go
and no objective to pursue,
Its a lost direction, making no sense.
And beyond all borders,
it has no description to give.
Is there a place where nothing matters,
Nothing at all?
I think not, no missing links,
Not even messed up molecules;
Nor absolute loss of substance,
and no terrifying voids.
Unless one can say that without love,
Without compassion, and
without tenderness, without life,
or heaven; that is oblivion?
Knowing the opposite of love is hate,
Of compassion is anger,
Of tenderness is hardness,
Of life is death, of heaven is hell;
So where is oblivion?
