LIVE TO LIVE NOT TO DIE

everybody dies
But little get to live
Everybody sleeps
For everybody dreams
Only livers wake
After severe  struggle and shake

Not everyone would live I say
But everyone would leave  their stay
Wake up to the morning sun
Wake up to the life moan

The successors don't recognize bird's voices in the sky
They evacuate their bunks to listen to their nest
Only the heroes are the war returnees
Who survived through stungy and hungry bees

The most shameful and regretful bemoan
Is only but the one when death is on
Where the hell is your harvest
When the dawn casts and farmers vacate forest

Then you realise all your life you never waked
Truly you were shaked
But all was a barren desert
That your earth purpose earn no desert

Where are you in the crowd
When everything seems hazy and loud
Your head was the heaviest on ground
Never raised even with the noisiest sound

It's not sinful to dream straight
But it's regretful to dream and wait
Know verily, the storm isn't to stay
It's just a preface to rain that fades away
