On Being Alive
Intangible things which survive
make it worthwhile being alive.
Some things we cannot understand
are available on demand.
Ideals, like gods, are among these
most important realities
while some things we’re able to touch
may not matter as much.
Some things on our spiritual quest
are more important than the rest.
The most important one i guess
is to have cosmic consciousness.
Those who do not know what that means
are as unalive as machines.
