An Execution on a Desktop

No tears fell, no fears swell, as the condemned took the stage.
The ax rapidly came down, with the silence of a falling feather;
A shrill chill blew through the air, not brought on by the weather.
Blood fell upon the snow, staining the sheet like ink on a page;
Pointless hope ended, as abruptly, as the final line of a bard`s verse
(The rhythm of life, almost perfect, the only mar is: it’s by far too terse).  
No audience, at this point, only the executioner and ax truly care.
A dream, in the consummation of its crucifixion, leaves a nightmare.

Reality – a jest, or a test?
Life – a lucid dream, a whimsical fantasy,
(Or a moment of apparent sensation and brevity)?
Humanity – ingests and infests.
Eternity – some sort of divine idea of levity?

Death – living answers were found, like metaphors clearly explained…
Death – morbid mysteries so profound, those implications – restrained…
Death – The Reality of Life, which is consuming Humanity for all Eternity…
Death – the executioner placed the ax down and laughed at the absurdity.
