Poetry: Life & death

by Ian Wayne Grant Sparkman

Created on: October 11, 2010

Waking up in the morning is what we do, when we are alive.

Smiling at the compliments is what we do, when we are alright.

Dreaming for a better future is what we do, when we are bright.


Was the human condition ever so dire as today?

That I ask of anyone who thinks they know what is truly righteous. 


We call the creator of all by thousands of names that shall forever be in a state of change.

Yet, even when we agree so very clearly, we seem to misconstrue what should be obviously smooth.


Waking up to reality is what we do, when we are about to die.

Smiling at the compliments is what we do, when we look back at our time.

Dreaming for a better future is what we do, when we are letting go of our tether.
