living life is a thing of perpetual finality 
born with five inputs to consume the dying 
each moment to witness nothing to hold on to 
given the biological dependencies satisfied 
parameters of gravity oxygen and sustenance 
conclude to another human being's meaning 
 
on earth every emotion has its time and place 
it is easy to go with the flow just to be happy 
you can do it until you perish and never pause 
but life would be a dream like that of an animal 
stopping to investigate would make it worth it 
lucid about knowledge as the sorrow seeps in 
 
awareness of the process crosses man's psyche 
soon enough making acquaintance with anguish 
to know everything has a beginning and an end 
thought itself demands each moment to pass 
the paradox is that understanding requires it 
as he is the walking music that realizes the song
