Although you are a person
Albeit a different one than me,
you are a person nonetheless
and so I value you, as you would value me.

And as mere humans
we are plagued by regret
always awaiting the next chance,
but only getting more upset.

A human waiting for a goal
is impatient as the sun
waiting to rule the sky
after the seasons have gone cold.

The soul will soon get bored
and decide that it must leave
and pursue another passion,
whatever that may be.

For as you soon may see,
the only way to learn
and to truly live as free
Is to live your life by honesty
