Ignorance is a gift that no-one should lose
Condemned to live in a world of disaster
Condemned to contemplate our won disaster
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Blessed are the sick
Blessed are the starving
Blessed are the merciful
Blessed I am not
But cursed from birth
and for eternity
Like ridiculous puppets we are running after time
But time slips away
Inexorably
Relentlessly
We will all die
Just slipping away
As if we had never come to life
Just fading away
All of us
