After love, life is the most precious thing to live,
and live it well you should, and live it right,
every day and every night, and know how lucky
you are, to be given a life to live.
  Once the realization, finally sinks in, that you have
a duty to survive this life you've been given, and how
precious it is, then you must look at the world around
you, and see all the other precious things
called the living.
   Knowing the living, like you needs help to survive,
put out your hand, and help with thier lives, so, they can
help with yours;
if you argue, forgive, if you agree, be happy, but help
each other reach the next plateau of existence because
it's a living.
   God only knows, how long it will take to evolve,
to the point, of a true appreciation of creation;
So instead of swatting that fly, you just say, Hi!
