your life is your life –
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. –
be on the watch. –
there are ways out. –
there is a light somewhere. –
it may not be much light but –
it beats the darkness. –
be on the watch. –
the gods will offer you chances. –
know them. –
take them. –
you can’t beat death but –
you can beat death in life, sometimes. –
and the more often you learn to do it, –
the more light there will be. –
your life is your life. –
know it while you have it. –
you are marvelous –
the gods wait to delight –
in you.
