Renew

Pawn takes Queen, Knight takes Rook
With a fierce temperment and outlook
Each and every day goes without fanfare
Life is selfish, even as life is sharing
As people live so too do people die
Adults grow weary, and children cry
Life offers no generosity or dispensations
As the world faces emotional starvation
If we invest our lives the return is more
We burn fuel until we empty our core
Existence beggars the sleeping dreams
As living comes apart at the seams
There is only life, so sing, rejoice
Death offers no alternative choice
To taste of the cup one final time
Let me renew once again, or let me die
