Scott Thomas Outlar Lilburn, GA Poet

Thus Spoke the Grave Digger

Nietzsche said:
That which does not kill you
only makes you stronger.
This may well be true
for those who have strong wills.
But what he forgot to take into account
are all the people who face an avalanche
and then spend the rest of their days buried alive.
