What is a Life?
For days I have wondered what I shall do,
Wandering the streets of my mind aimlessly through and through,
Through dreams I see the beauty of all things arise,
Colorful plants, birds flying, sun shining, all in great stride,
The farther I go, the thicker the mind
Facts, ideas, where it all comes to life
The scents I smell are the ones worth remembering,
The past are full of memories I was dissembling,
The first time I ate a meal full of flavor,
Taste buds soaring with each bite I intend to savor
Sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, plain, are what drive me to be insane,
Wondering aimlessly of the flavors I taste,
I cannot let any of this food go to waste.
The sight of those hungry
The ones without food,
The ones that have nothing
Not even a pair of good shoes
What I see through my eyes,
The ones in my crazy insane mind,
Have led me on a path to help those without thinking “Who am I?”
For I am an ordinary man,
One that lives to take a stand,
Those without opportunity to have a diploma in hand
All for the sight of a smile because they were given the chance
To hear their name be called and their mind in a trance,
All because of what they hear,
A moment that would bring them to tears.
What they have gone through
All the work they have done,
Would be heard by all people, each and every single one
I awake back to reality where all things are still,
I hear a little bird chirping and see it perched on the windowsill.
Another look out into the world, reality as they say,
Breathing in and smelling the scents of the world that I live in each and every day.
Yet, the life I live in both dreams and reality,
Is a life that is built on love and morality.
