LIFE

Some say life is a game
So lets put on our vests and shorts
Run along and kick some balls
Till the last breath escapes our lungs.

Some say life is a marketplace
So lets write out a list
Of things to trade and things to sift
Till our purses run dry and we sit
And await that final gift.

Others say life is a passage
Into a world unknown
Be ye a prince, be ye a savage
We all shall forthwith meet our carnage!
