from the first flicker of life
(whenever that is)
it is the fate of the living to die
all that's important
are the bits between
don't tell me about
the thousand silent things
that are killing me
speak to me about
what brings you alive
our heritage is fear
useful, at the time, it
let us survive in a primal world
but we must evolve, for
our only future worth living,
to thrive, to rise--
we need love
