"Don't die until you're dead"
*
I love plain paradoxes
that have an underlying profundity
that often go unnoticed
when choosing to bypass them with a laugh
and surface based judgments
*
I translated what he said
Don't die while you're living
Seize the day
*
Don't become the living dead
Mindlessly wandering about
consuming
*
Don't let your body stagnate
and rot where you stand
*
Live
while you still breathe
*
Enjoy every moment of being
*
Because life is a road trip
where you make plans
but don't get to see everything
*
Just make sure you drive
the vessel you've been blessed with
*
Move your electrical capacity
*
with
tenacity
veracity
sagacity
vivacity
*
Then you can die
knowing the art of living
