Life, I Guess!
he/she was the one, and as soon as they talk or speak
you learn that they are just someone else?
Do you ever wonder if the right person for you exists,
and that the chance that you will see or meet that very person is one
out of a six billion? Do you
ever think about how life started and how it will end?
You don’t know how short and long it is.
You are balancing on a thin thread.
Have you ever wondered if you will find that person
before the thread snaps?
Or before that person’s thread snaps?
Do you ever think about the meaning of ‘love’?
Is it just a word, or perhaps just something everyone wants to be,
so they say that they are?
Have you ever thought about nature, and how it’s slowly being demolished?
How the Generation-X does anything to get a pair of new shoes,
but not a thing to save an endangered species?
Do you ever wonder if there is life forms beyond our solar system,
and think if they are thinking the same thing about us.
Would you look down at someone who regrettably sinned?
Or would you ever let anyone take the blame for your fall?
How can you live with yourself after that?
Is greed and egotism really worth living by?
That saying ‘no’ to everything is right,
and keeping your head up to make yourself look better and making other people - look worse?
Define what ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ means.
They are just two words made up.
Made up by who, we don’t know, but we still live by them.
Have you ever asked yourself if there is an answer to everything,
and if the truth is really out there...
It has been said that people change but usually to the worse.
But aren’t we all changing?
Did you grow up with a special friend,
and then lost contact with that person a couple of years after you separated?
Can anything hurt more than loosing someone that isn’t even dead?
Someone that is still alive and wealthy - but not yours?
