Ephemeral lives are such and injustice
as nightmares of dying forever infest us
our rhapsodic skills have finally possessed us
to write down our thoughts to endure and attest us

Our existence so brief it fills us with grief
The sea of humanity, an ephemeral reef
like a thief in the night the current brings blight
with insurgent injustice that's devoid of contrite

So we post all our poems for others to read
in the hopes of creating a perpetual creed
ephemeral life is injustice no more
for our poetry spans from the future to yore

Join the Writer's Club thread. John posts a new word and a writer's challenge every day. His challenge actually inspired this poem, but after I wrote it I thought I'd post it on the open forum too.

In fact, when you learn a new word the best way to really drive it home is to write a little ditty about it.

cool! Although i like JSH better as a name for this site, anybody else feel this way?

It has a big fat typo in the very first line.

It should be "an injustice" not "and injustice"

Typos are such an injustice.
