Why do people conveniently leave eternity aside,
why can’t they admit their vanity, and swallow their pride?
Don’t they read the obituaries, and know that all will die,
they can’t go on forever, why do they, thus, live the lie?
Maybe they think,
there is no eternity, life evaporates into nothing,
there is no barrier, there is no brink,
isn’t it senseless, this very thing?
Or maybe to them, life is just in the now,
it is nice to think this way - life in the now.
Or maybe they will realize that old trees will sway,
when the slightest, and the mildest, wind blow their way,
because it’s time for them to go - all the way,
it’s time for them to go,
the way,
it’s time for them,
passed away.
