Wake Up Human

Wake up

Wake up O human

Open your eyes for once

Look deep into what you are just this one time

Look at what you have become

See for yourself what they have done to you

You are so unique

But you manage to lose that

In a life of useless strife

Only to become an insignificant drop in a still ocean

Across thousands of lives comes a human life

And what a grand waste

The mirage of your trivial life blinds you

Your own face you fail to see

Your inner self suffocates in the repetition of it all

Your character completely lost

And you forget to do what you want

Misled by the glitz of a bewildering path

You spend your life walking these endless circles

Sans a sense of what you really are

And then realize in death that life was much more

Much more than the money and the house

Much more than just the kids and the spouse

Wake up

Wake up O human 

Not all is lost as long as a single breath of life remains

You can still be all that you want to be

Even if it leads you into absurdity

Even if nothing really comes out of your life

You will still rejoice

Bask in your own wonderful life 

If you do what you want and not what you’re told

So make that trifle choice

For you and your soul’s sake

 And for the sake of the world

For once in your life, wake up

Wake up O human!
