I subscribe to furious living.
I squeeze every drop of awareness from seconds.
I act upon urges and impulses, dodging damage.
A lifetime's such a little flame to snuff
We waste it griping, or collecting stuff.
'Carpe diem' is numb...
'Adolebit omnis punctus temporum!'
'Burn every second!'
Until your eyes and heart blaze
And you truly grow to fit your days
And you can say:
'How I lived!'

You shouldn't live life. Like heaven exists. Convincing yourself. That this isn't it. You'll only waste time. Believing there's more. Imagine if you will. There's no more in store. And go out and do.

You are in this world. Yes, you can use science to prove that nothing you do technically matters, because the universe will end anyway.

Your life is not a dry run, or a practice. Live life hard and fast, there are no second chances. Live for today and everyday, and live it well, cos one day it will all be gone.

Time
Another day draws to a close. More precious time slips by and goes. Lost to memories, never to be here again. The now is now somewhere and remember when. Hold tight as the seconds pass you by.

I don't believe in the afterlife or re-incarnation - this is it, so don't waste a minute of it! Great poem. 👏👏😃☀
