vetting life

look around at life

it's amazing and a maze

full of color

filled with pain

cooled in the wind

pelted by rain

kissed by the sun

killed by the storms

caressed by the moon

harassed by alarms

alive with good friends

mindless in mobs

locked up in love

feel free snubbing snobs

too much to know

too little to share

almost alive

who the hell cares
