Is this life all there is?
Is this life all there is? Yesterday, it was work, eat, drink, and be merryBuy that, buy those-- and then sleep Today, it’s more work, more eat, more drink, and be merrierBuy more of that, buy more of those—then sleep again Tomorrow, it’ll be much more work, eat, drink and be the happiestBuy all of that; buy all of those— then have more sleep Is all this life has to offer to us?Is this why we are here on this world,To satisfy our insatiable selves? If this is the only thing, we haveIn life—then something is veryWrong in our own existence. Is this not all emptinessAs if everything hangs in the airAnd striving after the wind. Then, let’s all wake up my dear friends And look around—reflect and meditate,Now, we know: life’s nothing sans Jehovah God in our lives. --by wiliej
