Inception
From our earliest inception
A fascinating process unfolds
Flora and fauna
Spread across this planet we call home
From micro to macro
Arose a species called mankind
Everything is evolving
Slowly, quickly, some in due time
Our human moment is impermanent
Like stream that flows to an end
We have unique opportunity to experience
Our world through a self imposed lens
Like a fish in the ocean
Struggling to find the sea
It's hard to understand
When we fail to accept reality
To protect our fragile psyche
We deflect or push our thoughts side
Because no one wants to acknowledge the fact
We’re condemn at birth to die
Life is
What we see is what we believe
Our sand is running dry
You're in control of your destiny
