The first will become the last
And the last will become the first
As it is in the beginning
It will be in the end
The alpha and the omega
The beginning and the end
All in one moment
All in one second
Constantly playing out
Constantly balancing each other
As we move along in life
Just as there is a beginning
We all have an end
Life is always moving from one phase to the next
Constantly recycling itself
Never ceasing
Everything is transitory
Even when we think of people
We see that there are people who seem to have a lot of wealth
And people who seem to have all of the power
While it seems like there are some people
Who seem to be without a say
Without a voice
Without a dime to their name
But who is really happy
Is the business man that keeps buying all the things to fill his heart
Any happier than the child that might not have anything
That enjoys the simple pleasures
And can laugh and play with ease
And even the person who you might look down upon the most
Can have hidden knowledge and truths hidden in their eyes
And hidden in their hearts
That they are willing to tell if you would only listen
And whose heart truly sings when they see someone happy
But there are hearts that are almost always looking to destroy any happiness
Because they live so much in fear and in hate that anyone who is happy
Just shows them how unhappy they are inside
Who would you rather pity
The person whose heart sees love and can be happy for others
Or the heart of the person who can only see hate and greed and fear
Alpha and omega
As it is in the beginning
So shall it be in the end
And just as we begin to learn
We depart again
To return to the earth
Where we can all be free
Recycling ourselves
As even we move from one phase to the next
Constantly flowing in balance
As we continue to live and to die and struggle and grow
