I Dont Know

to live to die
to laugh to cry
to sob to weep 
to awake to sleep
what does this mean 
i dont know
im lost in my own atomic atmosphere
one day will i slumber no more
to awake to the brighter side of the sun
to have a life to laugh to be undone
to share it with my child my only son
i dont know

"Lost in an atomic atmosphere." Get out the tea leaves and the chicken bones. The Mayans'll tell ya. I like your truthfulness (if there is such a word) Who the hell knows? Congrats on the selection. daver
