One Life to Live

When cows drink their own milk,
When worms tear their own silk,
Night duties, if the moon hates,
Calendars that show their own dates,
When Doctors become killers,
When performers become seat-fillers,
Survival in the fast lane,
Tires me, I go insane,
We seem to have forgotten,
What happens when?
Dogs bite their own kin,
Priests wipe out their own sin,
Life is ours to live it up,
Sword-like words, just give it up
Happiness would flow if we remembered,
Each one’s days are numbered.
