Life Is What You Make It

Birth ushers us into the world,
giving us an opportunity to mold
our thoughts into music and noise;
love and hate; peace and war.........

We find ourselves doing deeds
that are either good or evil,
swinging like pendulums between
the two qualities; history books prove
what we are, and what we can become

We stop creating our reality only in death.
