Blissful moments
are so few and so rare

We seem to forget
what’s really out there

Not taking a moment
to stop and wonder

Can we really say we never bothered?

So many days
and so many nights
Leave me to ponder

Who are you to say
There are no others?

How arrogant of we
to think
we’re the only
intelligent beings

And

Who are we to say
We are truly free?
They claim
some things in life can never be

So how dare you say
When and how we pray?
And what gives you the right
To end so many lives?

You’re not the keeper of time
You don’t get to choose
when and how we die

But that’s okay
You go ahead
and live your life
Trapped in oblivion
Failing to see the other side

And that’s alright
We can accept our strife
We’ll keep our dignity
and remain up right

When all falls into turmoil
We’ll have our family
and
We’ll have our morals

But when our beautiful world
comes crashing down
We’ll all stop and think
Who's fault is it now?

Remember
Nature knows no bounds

And with each passing day
Death makes it rounds

Someday soon
You'll be buried in the ground
And all that will remain
Is your little plaque
or your statue standing tall

So when you really think about it
You've done absolutely nothing,
nothing at all
