Vivo Ergo Sum
Slap to start, gasp your first
Hope for best, fear the worst
Lungs inflate, blood runs hot
Limbs lash out, suckling sought
Crawl and stand, toddle then run
Thinking thoughts, just begun
Brain brights up, play and school
Seem so smart, then a fool
Look for love, meet and mate
Fortune shines, find your fate
Work a job, raise a child
Life leads on, years are piled
What goes up, must come down
Heart beat slows, sorrows drown
Gasp your last, then you die
Dig you deep, loved ones cry
Ash to ash, dust to dust
What’s the point?! Just…we must…
