we are not eternal

Kind and nice lady, We are not eternal, Not you, not me, not them, Hurry to love me, Marie Gaëlle, We are not eternal, Not you, not me, not them Hurry to think about it, Little mom, We are not eternal, Not you, not me, not the Pope Hurry to sleep, Poet friend, We are not eternal, Not you, not me, not them, Hurry and write to the mountains, Frequent traveler, We are not eternal, Not you, not me, not them, Hurry up and visit New York, Marie Catherine, We are not eternal, Not you, not me, not them, Hurry to kiss me, Marie Gaëlle, We are not eternal, Neither you nor I, do not wait, Hurry up and write to me, Hurry up, little girl, To dance and sing, Your chocolate taste haunts me, Hurry up and eat oranges, Poor nephews, poor nieces, Poor schoolchildren, poor schoolgirls, We are not eternal, The sea will remain, not us, in heaven, Love her like a sister, I am not eternal Hurry up little girl, hurry up little girl. Gentille madame, Nous ne sommes pas éternels, Ni toi, ni moi, ni eux, Dépêche-toi de m’aimer, Marie Gaëlle, Nous ne sommes pas éternels, Ni toi, ni moi, ni eux Dépêche-toi d’y penser, Petite maman, Nous ne sommes pas éternels, Ni toi, ni moi, ni le Pape Dépêche-toi de dormir, Ami poète, Nous ne sommes pas éternels, Ni toi, ni moi, ni eux, Dépêche-toi d’écrire aux montagnes, Grand voyageur, Nous ne sommes pas éternels, Ni toi, ni moi, ni eux, Dépêche-toi de visiter New York, Marie Catherine, Nous ne sommes pas éternels, Ni toi, ni moi, ni eux, Dépêche-toi de m’embrasser, Marie Gaëlle, Nous ne sommes pas éternels, Ni toi, ni moi, n’attends pas, Dépêche-toi de m’écrire, Dépêche-toi, fillette, De danser et chanter, Ton goût de chocolat me hante, Dépêche-toi de manger des oranges, Pauvres neveux, pauvres nièces, Pauvres collégiens, pauvres collégiennes, Nous ne sommes pas éternels, La mer restera, pas nous, au ciel, Aimez-la comme une sœur, Je ne suis pas éternel Dépêche-toi fillette, dépêche-toi fillette.

Well, humans are an eternal being. There is a pause in their human form which will one day meet back with the spirit and live forever in one of two places. Our brains are capable of storing at the minimum 3 million years of information so why do you think our brain has that capacity. Sara K

Quite cute Yaan. Yes, you are right. Nothing here on earth is eternal. Everything is subject to death and decay. I liked the way you brought forth this irreversible truth.
