The Cost and Reward

Every life is short term, no matter how long you stay alive
With a limit in resiliency of our flesh and few years given
We've needs that must be fulfilled or our flesh will fail, die
To exist we must eat, drink, breathe, sleep, and more
We all dream, try to hope, desire others and count time
What makes everyone's life more than a machine
Is that we search for and try to find love
If you demand without trying, you're a fool and court doom
You must find hope and love, or discover that life is cruel


“People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that
is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so
cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”  Fyodor Dostoyevsky
