I often find myself rejoicing
my pleasured neurons scream in bliss
oblivious of all woes my past has seen
this moments clarity of achievement blinding
i have found a solace here on earth
for each of five moments this might last
where the ebb of gilad to sad does not exist
and i can ignore that i'll soon forget even this

I often find myself dejected
in a state of aversion with myself
certain there is some missing want
some happenstance out of sync
which in righting might soften my tainted demeanor
when what would truly suit me best
is any one thing truly worth
being sorrowful for

Death to life
as air to water
pain to joy
as earth to stone
each undeniable parts of an existence
our mortal shells refuse to transcend

Yet, belief in any
allows our minds the escape needed
from the contradiction we can't endure
where we must at all costs preserve that we value
always knowing well and fully
that all life ends in death

In this
how can death frighten me
what could life hold to bring me joy
so let us choose to create a world
where life should bring us grief
the penance contrition and loss
and squarely in the name of belief
let us tout all joy love and peace eternal
for a state of life that here
is only evidenced by rotting flesh

Must we constantly remind ourselves
of each of our present losses
or might we think of living today for today
and let death choose its course as it will

The world has yet to die
while we have yet to live
