Just Passing Through

Do we really own anything
     Do we even own our lives
Why is there so much effort
     It seems, that each of us strives
To accumulate things
      In a materialistic view
When we cannot take things with us
     We’re just passing through

This is so true Mike. All these possessions, they eventually don't mean anything.
