be happy


everything boils down to money
everything boils down to a few
seconds of orgasm
everything boils down
to me, me, me!

it should be said that I agree
to basic necessities
provided we don't hurt anybody
go ahead & be happy

do all the things you wish and dare
become heroes, stars, extraordinares
put your heart into shaping
a better world
with certain flair

do one thing
for free, now and then
a charity
be content
that you are put here on Earth
for a reason, a purpose

not to make money
not to have sex, or just... be
no, no, stop, think for a minute
have a perspective

be weak/strong
be right/wrong
if you can afford it
be eternally young
for life is fragile
and when you're gone
what's left
dust?
bones?
