Alive For Now

A universe immense yet still expanding

With properties beyond our understanding

Unique in our ability to build and create

Forever captive and cannot change our fate

Life can be crazy maybe long but goes by quick

Learning to balance and master oneself is the trick

When times up all your treasure no longer in your hand

Yet we work to have it all as though we don't understand

None of our things go with us they won't last

All your possessions no more once you've past

Keep in mind as for riches you do strive

You'll be dead alot longer than you are alive

So many slaves to their vanity

We all question our own sanity

Deal with stress or not at all

Some even hide behind impenetrable walls

All of us equal at our birth

All co-owners of Mother Earth

Immediately the balance becomes distorted

Fair and equal are ideals which are not sopported

Lust for money lust for power

Habits which have brought us

To this dark and dangerous hour

Lives spent building up wealth stacking dough

Though you don't know when its your time to go

Take a break from the rat race and your money

Take a minute to actually live and be free

The money chase is brutal and so ugly

But outside your empty empire a world of beauty

None of our things go with us they won't last

All your possessions no more once you've past

Keep in mind as for riches you do strive

You'll be dead alot longer than you are alive
