Life Story

Said the ancient to the little boy
I've got a tale to tell you of
The world and what I know, the things I've learned

From beginnings small and timid
I have found a better way but
Understand that all the time I have is fleeting

I have walked life empty handed
And again with a full purse
And i cannot you better each the same
Not about the mortal conquests
But the spiritual gain that you can
Come by as you figure out your name

All I've known and all I ever will
A moment past, tomorrow still
And I would that it could fill
All of my world eternally
Nevermind the hollow swill
That looms about and leaves a chill
An effervescent life fullfilled
And now I try to pass.....

The little boy's distracted
He's heard too much today
Another story wasting time
When he should go and play
The purpose with the reason
The envy with the loss
The ancient turns to little boy
He tells him not to hate, destroy
The little boy he cannot hear
His ears are full, his eyes they fear
The world is full of wrongs to right
I'm worthy if I hunt and fight!

Said the ancient to the little boy
I've got a tale to tell you of
The world they want you knowing, things you'll learn
From all that is immortal
There can be a better way and
Understand that you can live a life unending......

So it rolls, moves and flows.
