How is it that me and you get to live?
That we get to cruise through life.
Listen to the soothing falling rain
Let it wash away our pain.

How is it that we are still here?
Braving the ultimate fear
Absorbing the magic life oozes
As we become what one chooses.

How is it that times flys by this fast?
Compiling present to make a past
Secretly inviting age wrinkles
On our skin sprayed like sprinkles.

How is it that we get to see so much?
Wifi connects us to whom we can't touch
Gadgets fill our hands and pockets
Forcing us to live next to sockets.

How is it that we seem to forget death?
The custodian of our counted breaths
We get attached to the already dead
Yet to venture inside graves we dread.

How is it that we can't love one another?
Embrace the diversity in each other
The uniqueness of every man
If to heal the Earth is the plan.


Thank you for coming.
