Truth

Here on this earth
See death and birth


Sense fate and choice
Breath in same voice


Norm dilutes form
Slow to perform


Tact filters act
Slack follows lack


Too soon, too late
Plunge through hot gates


Live while you can
Work well this plan


Death is easy
Life ends quickly


Boost smiles with zest
Forget the rest


Live not in vain
See beyond gain


All in due time
The End will chime
