Life, four letters that mean everything. Clearly, without life who would write? Who would see? And clearly nothing would be. This world would be empty, and boring. It would be without color. Does color exist if no one is there to see it? There would be no action nor compassion. Everything would be still and blatantly lifeless. The bird would not chase the worm, Nor would the caterpillar rest it's head upon the soft flower. There would be no countries, no math, no science or sizes. France the size of Texas, Jacksonville and Paris, All would be nothingness, nameless, and void. No fetuses to grow in to babies, Naked without knowledge. No balloons to fly at the end of the parade, Let go by young Marry, with her father John. No! Without life there would be nothing. Nothing to evolve from nor too, Fish to monkeys to me and you. Four letter word, that means literally all of the above.
