Controversy
What does this world have to offer?
 Can I stay a moment here?
 And talk to you for a while longer
 With me you have nothing to fear
 I’m just a person
 
 We are capable of the most remarkable things
 We can kill and destroy
 We can give and take lives
 It depends what you’re like though
 That makes everything different
 It’s all the difference
 
 You just have to find it in yourself
 You have to look forward to these things
 Not back on the past
 Time is such a strange thing
 Is it not?
 Impossible to traverse and just as hard to understand
 Take the time to realize 
 Realize what?
 The fact that we’re all going to die?
 The fact that our lives are random?
 And the fact that we are all worthless?
 What am I supposed to realize?
 Realize life?
 Realize death?
 Why?
 What can we accomplish with realization?
 It’s just a thought
 Spewed forth from my vivid, crazy, imagination
 So why do we think?
 And breathe and sing?
 If our life is meaningless then what’s the point
 Why do we carry ourselves forth?
 Why are we alive?
 Why do we deserve it?
 Life
 We ruin and waste this “gift”
 Of all the other more deserving things in this universe
 Why are we “graced” with life?
 Why do we deserve it?
 
 Life, she said
 Is beautiful
 Magical
 Spontaneous
 And all in all
 She said
 Life is love
 That’s why we live
 Love.
