Our time on Earth is limited.
It can be gone in an instant.
Obtaining power and riches?
For what reason?
For what meaning?
We can’t take it with us.
It is not a part of us,
of our construct.
Maybe it governs our conduct
to an extent but that is if we
allow it such a deep imprint.
How can we spend our time wisely?
Time is running out every day
heightening our sense of mortality
of urgency to do something
actionable of our morality
to use our mental faculty practically.
There’s no time to worry about status.
The dead share the same class
soil the same dirt
and leave remnants of a past
that may or may not become unmasked.
There’s no use for money
when death is coming.
Maybe a nice casket or something.
How’s that for a legacy?
Known for being buried deep
in a beautiful mahogany wooden keep.
It’s the memories that we keep
that live on in our place
long after our existence has ceased.
It is the relationships
that we have built
that continue to live on in our absence.
There’s no time to worry about status.
Life is waiting
let’s go have it.
It can be gone in an instant.
