Life As We Know It
Life as we know it
I think we humans suffer from a death wish
we destroy nature, a heatwave in Siberia
burning down down the Amazon all in day´s work.
After this pandemic, the next one will be worse
we may be the last humans before we go up in fire.
I´m tempted to throw off my mask, kiss people
and mingle with the crowd.
Apart from wearing the mask, I'm into hugging strangers,
but I can change.
Yet, there is always a yet, life is the only thing
we know, death is a foreign existence we now little
about and we fear its appearing nothingness.
