Mortal

MORTAL I have nothing Except the air in my lungs Which will one day return To whom it belongs I am a mortal On a mission On earth to survive Each day I thank the creator For keeping me alive For my coming to this world Was not by chance If life is music Then I know the dance For many have died With riches on earth With no legacy to leave And they are squeezed by death Why seek after worldly things? When we will one day leave Why not show some generosity? And try to learn how to give And tomorrow My son will take over my place And teach love and kindness to the rest of the human race Honour and loyalty are the virtues of gods But in the world today we live like shameless dogs The ultimate sacrifice is only achievable through death So take courage my brother and take a deep breath And imagine Utopia A place that we will go Not when we are dead Because on earth we can achieve it though Devoid of the greed and the sadness of this world Where no spear is thrown Or rocks hurled
