Fleeting Beauty Of Now

Fleeting Beauty Of Now

Since nothing is predetermined in life 
we live for the fleeting beauty of now 
by soaking in this moment with respect 
for all the complex interactive scenes 
that spiral swirls of molecules through fate 
providing framework of fortune to act. 

Each person plays the lead in their own life 
even if they are some side character 
in the grand drama of social control 
that forces us to stay in our own lane 
though we try to kick the ball in our goal 
with ambition to win the laurel crown. 

I refuse to stay in my assigned place 
defined by faceless people who wield power 
in vain attempt to force us to bow low 
when people who steal with deceptive tricks 
declare themselves the social upper class 
and step on other people to rise high. 

Through savage competitions to gain wealth 
we fight each other in obsessive games 
by joining groups with common goal of hope 
lead by the charismatic seer of truth 
whose insight helps us all survive to live 
and fight to control chessboard of the world. 

Attempting to survive and thrive with faith, 
alone with strength of will to overcome, 
we face the fierce indifferent storm of fear 
that nature throws at us without concern 
so we apply code of wisdom through strength 
to live another day in game of life. 

We wake each dawn in haven room of dreams 
then run through woods along the river shore 
in competition to gather more food 
by fighting with opponents to the death 
so we return with baskets full of wealth 
through gates of heaven to the feasting hall. 

As each new generation grows up well 
we play relentless game of life and death 
to find our mate in weird romantic play 
so we generate life before we die 
by organizing vast empires of farms 
where our children succeed better than us. 

Yet in the end of every game for power 
in competitions to gain wealth and fame 
we all wither with age and fall in death 
so all we create vanishes in wind 
except the children who spring from our hearts 
and play their own new game of life and death.
