Man has programmed himself to die

A death wish has been ingrained

Almost with our first breath

We are taught to expect our last


Science has done its best to choke off

The true instincts of mankind

Death is impatient and thoughtless

Mortality is a disease of the mind


Embrace the gifts before you

Paradise is underfoot

Eternity is within


Lost site of the bounty before us

Boundless resource of pleasure and plenty

Living for an intangible

In a future clouded with doubt


One step forward is one step

deeper into the grave


Breathe... breath of life
