YES ALL THOSE YEARS ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Yes all those years actually happened
Best not just to look at today
Best to consider good acts done
Thrills experienced
Yes, they come
You just live and stay free
Out of the grasp of the bureaucracy
Liquid, solvent financially
Half a life-time building, teaching, learning
Whatever is your proclivity
Until you count forward the months
What you are now is the sum
Of all those actions and thoughts
Grim purpose and hard fought
Competition drawing forth great effort
Remembering the battles
Regaling in the loves
Recoiling from angry argument
Inserting moderation to all views
Even self must be forgiven
Whoever biblical monk you may be now
All have compromised integrity
For selfish aims
It is the human predicament
Knowing an end comes
Beyond that gate
Figurative river to the sea
Where we are all brine
Finally together molecularly
After a life of singularity
Its joys, pains and equanimity
Lies the final project unity
