Life

We are born with energy
We are born with life
All can be lost at the slip of a knife
A trick of the mind
A duece up a sleeve
And only ashes are what we leave
Having the choice they say was gods gift
But what we have is an uncontrollable rift.
People are fighting, and dying, and crying
Yet the people that cause it are lying
Born to live or born to die
It's the choice we make to bow or defy
Where we come from and where we've been
Is only a matter of how and when
The next step you make can mean it all
Or destroy your world and mean the fall
Look to the sky
Look to the ground
Laugh and cry
Create a sound
Waves we make
And the lives we take
Or create
Define rememberance of those that will not forsake
Do you love or do you hate
Are you the antipathy
Living for living's sake
