A Spin on Life

Life gets better

or life gets worse

We each control our own universe

Like a drive on winding roads

Every day a thrill

Life happens fast

Sometimes best

when we can just stay still

While it all spins around us

Entire galaxies

Sometimes we skilfully conduct them

like inspired symphonies

**

Life is the best

or life is a curse

We each live in our own universe

Feel alive as fireworks explode

With intention and will

Life can be a blast

Or like a test

But this is not s drill

While fire spins around us

Every colour and sound

Hot white eyes in the sky

We trust them

From this sacred and hallowed ground

**

Have gratitude for what we’ve got

The Earth is starting to get hot

When we share and care a lot

Then we stand up for this spot

*

Lend a hand or lend a thought

We should sign a petition

For what we’ve fought

If no one will listen

Then we’re caught

Have gratitude for what we’ve got

**

Still be relentless

in standing up for what is right

The more we think about it

There is no other fight

Make a difference in every day

Show effort towards progress

In every way

I’m an honest guy

I can’t turn a blind eye

How can so many suffer needlessly?

We all have to try

To help all of life

**

Life is balanced

In life we’re immersed

We each perceive our own universe

As we strive

for what we want the most

Good times

Not overkill 

Life can flow past

Share time to rest

At best we can all chill

While the world spins around us

Attain all of our needs

With nurture and care we construct them

Now we plant dreams like seeds
