First Is Last

First is last or last is first,
Dust has life or life is dust.
What does a person want to achieve?
When he is hungry and having thirst.

He never afraids when belly is empty,
A full belly forever plays humpty dumpty,
Fun and love, progress and prosperity,
Also burn and hate, jealous and recovery.

A matter sparks for righteous struggle,
Duty is duty never complains frugal,
When duty is absence system breaks,
Progress demands always a full detail.

A system for living and for peace,
Everyone is running same a life race,
A black or white, a fat or slim,
Animal is animal, a human has human face.

A dirty or smelly, a sweet or beautiful,
A life has run and boring a total,
We remember always a good time,
When time comes with a bad fatal.
