The Cycle

We live
We die
We give in
And we lie.

We sin
We hurt
We hunger
And we thirst.

We kill
We steal
We can
And will heal.

We laugh
We smile
We’re daft
For a while.

We cry
We mourn
We sigh
Then we’re torn.

8
Our cycle forever.
Will we mend?
We might never.

When will it end?

We spend, our lives
Giving in, to demise.

In truth, it’s all just messed up.
