Life Live I
What is life, but a catastrophic cat-walk of memories outfitted in judgment and pride,
Strung upon the high hopes of a dream, popping like balloons hung for too long in the sun.
And what is a dream, but a seed planted into the brain,watered with false hopes and good intentions,
Grown in a garden of ambition,because maybe I, am that one in a million.
Then what is ambition, but a foothold in greed, a bookend to apathy, passion on a fraying rope,
Centering around a being named 'I' because that being always deserves something.
Who is I, but a dreaming ambitious entity, existing only to survive,
Surviving to emulate life, committing 7 lively sins and never dying.
Yet, what is it to live if 'I', is life.
