Life Is A Burden

Recommended Posts

I remember the moment
I might have been 5
When it dawned on me
That people die
It seemed impossible
Yet it was true
There's no future
For me and you

LIFE IS A BURDEN
When you know you'll die
Can you go on anyway
And not ask why?
LIFE IS A BURDEN
Pain and misery
Filled with grief
And anxiety

I stand in the graveyard
Look at my parents' stone
Tears roll down my face
Feeling alone
It's not their fault
What's done is done
I know someday
I'll leave my son

LIFE IS A BURDEN
When you know you'll die
Can you go on anyway
And not ask why?
LIFE IS A BURDEN
Pain and misery
Filled with grief
And anxiety

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
