THIS LIFE

From birth to death,
A fleeting moment,
Everything and nothing,
Sin and atonement. 

But don't ask why,
Or invoke a grand scheme,
For when we die,
We will not dream.

As for happiness itself,
Mere perspective,
A product of chemistry,
And fates directive.

So enjoy this life,
And all it's worth,
For eternity beckons,
Beneath the Earth.
