It is only a short time from now<\/p>\n
That I must leave my body and earthly ties,<\/p>\n
Forget that I ever visited the world<\/p>\n
And disappear in the thin mists of eternity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While the journey on earth<\/p>\n
Was both a wild adventure<\/p>\n
As well as an empty exercise –<\/p>\n
It was actually an endless mourning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Humans live by strange values and rules,<\/p>\n
Obvious truths are subjected to endless logical testing,<\/p>\n
Turning our values into a commodity,<\/p>\n
Our experience a mindless exercise.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So much weight is put on intelligence,<\/p>\n
So much value given to material wealth,<\/p>\n
When man lives for only a short while,<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t this a reckless failure of our commonsense?.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But I am here now<\/p>\n
At the point of departure from the world,<\/p>\n
Will you hold my hand till the last moment<\/p>\n
And join me in the great adventure ahead?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
