Life, Love, Sex, Death

Picture this world through a fishbowl
Can that distorted view be yours?
Distortion reaches everywhere
If that is all you look for.
Everyone loves everyone dies
Not wonderful in the same sentence
But truth just the same...
So do you base your life on death?
Make your journey in violence and darkness
And reach your destination already dead?
Or can you reach for the stars in love
While those on the other side of the fence
Throw their dog shit in your backyard...
I try to love and live this life
In love with the world and all she bears
But if all life is love and life and sex and death and life and love
Why does everyone ask what comes after death
And no one asks what comes before life?
