What Gives Life Meaning

Sometimes I think I've lived too long.

that humans should be more like butterflies-

living in full splendor for a month.

death is what gives life meaning-

to know that your days are numbered-

that there is no time to waste.

generations flying by in the years.

there would be no mass deaths-

no one would waste their limited time on making a gun just to get

what would be meaningless money.

things would be easier-

The earth would still belong to its creatures.

and we would make the most of our numbered days.
