Life and Art

The grave of life stories
on the shoulder of flying shrewd hawk

As a worshipper of nature
I enjoy it copiously in excellent scientific inventions.

All through dazzling scientific junctions
I forget life is short living.

The universe would live in an ancient savage natural world
if like my narrow thoughts, the reverend scientists would think

To me- life is short, and art is long
But to the creative scientist- the whole of me in wrong

A creative life is a valuable part of the universe
But lazy life is a narrow-minded pulse

So, let's leave the perverted thoughts of life
Be creative, avoiding all illative believing strife
