Seven Minutes

Thu, 08/15/2013 - 11:20 -- arelle

We are alive, but are we living?

One day will be our last.

Scientists say the brain replays

seven minutes of memories 

after our last breath

are you living

a life worth remembering

right now?

Don't like your current outlook,

then change your attitude, personality

free yourself from the negativity and the hate

Don't allow racism to dominate

We are defined by the lives we lead 

One day we will all just be a memory

Make your life something to be proud of.

Spread love and appreciate life today.
