Metamorphosis

From the Sperm to the Egg ~ To the wait in a dark place ~ To the food through the Mother ~ To the birth. From the crawl to the walk ~ The laughter to the talk ~ The good to the bad ~ The happy to the sad. To the highest of the high ~ From the lowest of the low ~ Wondering where did ~ Your great life go. It started out ~ From the streets to the house ~ To drinking fancy drinks ~ Paying for things, not worried about the cost. From no shoes to many ~ Unemployment to an Empire ~ From rags to riches ~ And all you desired. From the lavish clothes ~ To the house on the hill ~ Loosing it all ~ To the man who sold you the illegal pills. From the kids to the wife ~ The fancy job ~ Making big paper ~ Then came the fall. You sit back thinking ~ How your experience in life was ~ And then how it is ~ Life simply put, is a metamorphosis.
