The man with no father

Searched for remnants

Of a pre-defined definition

Of What the world considers to be

Masculinity

He searched into

The past men who have built and maintained empires

Who burned their own bridges

To annihilate the idea of retreating into the past.

Into comfort

Into hope

In extreme hopelessness

Under the magma of rock-bottom

Under the stars which were devoid of divinity

Under the water which he drowned himself in

Just to rise from the grave

As the water forcefully escaped his lungs

He viewed everywhere but himself

But when he did

He realized

That the past

is now

The now

is now

The future

is now

Now is the eternity he was and is confined to

Now supplies the water that he once choked on

Now supplies the air that he will breathe

Now he is alive.

Now he is.
