LIFE AT BEST IS VERY BRIEF

MEDITATION I
Time is a traveler
Yet it takes no road
As we journey yonder,
Let our roads be unknown
Neither should our ways be crooked
What is mysterious, cannot be understood
What is not understood, cannot be destroyed
For humans are poison
They destroy everything they touch
Still, hate no one

MEDITATION II

ANTI-CLOCKWISE
12
THE UNFAIR BARGAIN
We can't say no to death
It's the only game we don't bet
Everyone must go
though the grave is not the goal
It's part of the mission
Though eternity lies the vision
Body rotted
Soul revitalized
Mind forgotten
Heart remembered

THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
20
Righteousness became a sin
Blood on the dance loor,
Perfection is lawed
Hunger for death
Satisfaction of life
A healthy fruit for a dying stomach
An angelic bit
A demonic lavour
Then cums the devil
There goes eve
The fruit was seen by sin
And we became blind for seeing.

THE HUMAN RACE
23
A BEAUTIFUL TRAGEDY
Growing in foolishness
As we run from our childhood of wisdom
Where everything is done from the heart
With a little common sense to balance out morals
Youthfulness, a gambling stage of life
24
EVENING FALLS
25
Nature has died in life
life is constantly alive in death
Night mixed with dawn
As moon embraces the sun.
26
PURPOSE IS BORN
Salvation in belief
Fate and talent drowns in believe
In a bittersweet remembrance,
Purpose is born.

LIQUID GRAVE I
Physical spiritualism
Conscious realism
Your fears becomes’ afraid
All because you've obeyed
Nothing is ageless
Yet your eternity is timeless
Not all the dead will die
Not all the living will live
