                                      your life is your life
                                      don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
                                      be on the watch.
                                      there are ways out.
                                      there is a light somewhere.
                                      it may not be much light but
                                      it beats the darkness.
                                      be on the watch.
                                      the gods will offer you chances.
                                      know them.
                                      take them.
                                      you can’t beat death
                                      but you can beat death in life, sometimes.
                                      and the more often you learn to do it,
                                      the more light there will be.
                                      your life is your life.
                                      know it while you have it.
                                      you are marvelous
                                      the gods wait to delight
                                      in you.
