Life is weird, so I show this to my children, 
and I have performed mine a million ways 
with every mask of some dead character 
I wear while prancing on theater stage 
to channel with dramatic speech outrage 
that we will disappear from flow of time. 

Life is weird, because events that occur 
happen in confusingly random ways 
that present symptoms of fateful effects 
without revelation of primal cause 
which spirals our vast universe into being 
when atoms swerve into organic life. 

Life is weird, for we have evolved from slime 
sparked into life by flashing chemicals 
which motivates my mind to operate 
my body with aggressive hope for joy 
so I ascend from bottom of the sea 
and crawl sweet river to tree-rooted lake. 

Life is weird, because our lives seem so short 
as we feel sunlight glowing in good bones 
while fighting serpent in the tree for fruit, 
making love by light of the hungry moon, 
then teaching our children to search for joy 
before we float into dark gloom of death. 

Life is weird, because our lives seem so long 
as we generate new bodies of flesh 
that evolve through four hundred million years 
fish to lizard to mouse to cat to ape 
to wingless angel seeking to transcend 
this mortal flesh and become deathless god. 

Life is weird, so I teach my children how 
to express visions glowing in their minds 
by arranging words that present ideas 
as thought formulas of conceptual tropes 
that embody our psychic energy 
when we chant spells that program why we see. 

Life is weird, for the world is terrible 
because some people destroy everything 
from blinding rage that life is so unfair 
when misfortune strikes with disease or war 
that kills millions of people whose souls 
dissipate into nothing of sunlight. 

Life is weird, for the world is beautiful 
because some people create with their hands 
from valiant love that, though life is unfair 
when fortune favors some and never others, 
we work together with love-flowing hearts 
to make this world beautiful till we die.
