The Being
In life we find thrill, chills and vains of nerve
Dreams of believers as high as sky eyes
Like climbing mountain, loose stone, slide to
next grab
We stumble, occasional knee drop to ground
Inside, is it emotion controls ego edge for living
A complex molecule structure pumped by blood red heart
A spirit, does it live that even in death existence remains
Even in life you can not kill what is not human
Only the form you take its dust returns to earth
Soul so alike, its change can be wicked
We battle way's of past, looking for peace in mankind
Does it exist or just mere idealistic thought
That even our creation has baffled centuries long
Wars, famine, still in hopes like guinea pigs
Our own living deadly to revolution to the stars
What is it thrives the being except its last breath
Fake hope of possibilities you can't take with you
Passed down to next and next forgotten and buried
What is it we live but that we live life to fullest
That our print be remembered generations to come
What is it that we are but our own example we lead
Struggle of realities truth quickens thirst for death
Prolonged agony of the being, torcher not always seen
Only in you the being, to be or not; that is the question
