Life's Expectancy

Life, full of one's expectations Edge to which one thrives survival In our minds, we are taught mortality A way of life, sense into the beyond journey Path to which desire rules emotions To love another, goal of dream's reality We all expect to live right old age Many dying even early days we shovel dirt Our life's expectancy, the riches to heaven The greed of man's soul to conquer His heart as wicked as the words he speak As a child it all looks wonderfully enchanted Price we pay cause we wanted to grow up Be like others, live wild and free We always hold a standard amongst ourselves A way of being, doing things right way So why do we detour our agenda to growth That even in ourselves we kill the spirit That to which give breath you turn evil Society forsaken all belief to birth Is it us we wake or impersonation we follow Not so much our role model we walk But time's past, history foresee before time Life's expectancy, only death be certain
