A young child's mind does not know why
it is here to live and to die,
and as adults we come to find,
answers lost no matter how we try.
So one by one we walk these beams,
toe to heel or so it seems,
we would surely fall into a dream,
of fear and doubt and uncertainty.
Drifting on a lucid breeze,
we only know what we believe,
devote ourselves so faithfully,
to give our minds the time to breathe.
All the while we ignore the cries,
of a world in pain as she dies,
lust and loathe for our afterlives,
souls relax as we slide down the knives.
