Hello my friends.
Hello world.
I said it once before.
And I said it with no fear.
For most of us here and now,
The end is very near
But for regrets,
This is neither the time
or the place.
Better that we got out
With a little bit of style
And a little bit of grace.
Like a climatic ending scene
Of an epic motion picture,
We are all beautiful losers
And we are all beautiful sinners.
In this global life drama,
We are indeed among the last.
Both planet and inhabitants
Destined for fatal crash.
Better to sing and shout
Than to say prayers.
Because
we are not the audience.
We are the players.
