Poetry

Extension

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Fighting over possessions

we can’t take to the grave. We aren’t

these things and they can’t feel our pain.

We’ll cease and they can’t care. We’ll speak

and they can’t listen. Transitioning. Can I be

your extension? Penny for your thoughts?

What if we were the last two people?

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.

    If we were the last two people I think we would hardly be fighting over things. More than likely we would learn to share to survive.

    The last two people! On earth, or throughout space?
