Reasons For Life/ Reasons For Death

F reedom to express yourself
R easonable chance they'll listen
I t's more important than most know
E very person has his tale, everyone puts on his show,
N o need to be self-conscious
D on't expect them to be either,
S omeday maybe all the world will connect together,
A s our closest do well now,
No idea when this may happen, but I know it's likely true
D on't know, maybe you can tell me why
For all the reasons under the sun, I know not why we die
A ll things come to an end, or so they say
M ysterious, the reasoning behind God's plan...
I suppose, maybe, because if it all just lasts forever
L ike lives, loves, knowledge, spirituality and more
Y ou'd soon be bored, no taste of time, no value to life, then just was it all for?
