I Am An Existential Nihilist

This poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky is particularly beautiful, it was the poem he adapted to serve as his suicide note.

Here's some lyrics for you,
[i]So much has gone
And little is new
And as the sunrise stream
Flickers on me,
My friends talk
Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word
"We had a friend, a talking man
Who spoke of many powers that he had
Not of the best of men, but ours
We used him
We let him use his powers
We let him fill our needs
Now we are strong[/i]

I'll take his words over some derangement into nihilism. I'll take the moment to find purpose, and continue on.
