SilverRose Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Some sayLife is cruel bad and meanWe must be cold and mean firstSome sayLife is short, empty, baseWe must satisfy with each momentfill the purposelessness with waste pursuitsanimal instincts of Survival rather than Living.When one sees no prospectsall there is is present-daymoment-gratificationinstead of means to an endhijacking the Future as sell-outsThe bottom line is of the differencebetween those who say‘Tomorrow will be mine’and those who say‘I probably won’t live to see it.’Some believeLife is this exact moment onlywith no thought of reward or consequencefor the next may be snatched away quickerthan the blink of an eyeSome believeeven Good in life is for nothing morethan immediate reachwith no meaning, no purposeno need of self-restraintfor nothing is seen as beinganything beyond itselfbut Grab It Consume ItBefore someone steals it awayAnd as they believelife is but a quick flash,not only are possessions but also people disposable—throw awaywhat you no longer wantand replace it with anothersteal what belongs to someone elseshun attachments.and cherish nothing.For some believeit is o.k.to spin in a fog of apathyThinking foolish, to be sneered at and disregarded,those of uswho believe in living in fairness & justicethose of uswho believe the Goodness in life isbased on true human connectionwhere the dignity of Human Beings is the valueand that the value of life is far beyondwhat one can clutch in one’s hand.
