Over and over and over again
Make a few mistakes
Ruin a few samples
get to a rhythm near the end
Realise in the end
How you should have gone about it
In the first place
Try to teach it to the next generation
To your son or daughter
This is how people behave
In these situations, you say
Befriend such and such
Stay away from such and such
Dont break your heart over this idiot
This is not what matters in the long run
Are they going to listen?
despite all your warnings
They are going to run and
Dash their heart out anyways
And so is the cycle of life
Every generation must learn anew
And so we desire children
because our lives are jaded
We have done everything
There is to do
We know
Everything there is to know
And only the children's
earnest lust for life
Can make us feel alive again
This is how it is in nature
Homes ars made and broken
Food is grown and eaten and finished
Feelings rise and die
And look at human hubris
Thinking they conquered nature
With their permanence
Permanent roads
Permanent homes
Even permanent food
And nature laughs at us because
When humans die out
Due to the destruction
wrought by their own hubris
Nature will rise again
And remake herself
Again and again and again
As she has always done
