Death

Death and taxes.
Hearses and taxis,
a journey,
a journey on foot,
a journey on bicycle,
a journey by rickshaw or tram.
A journey by helicopter,
a journey by plane or by boat,
so many journeys by humankind,

so many journeys upon the land and in the sky,
and I wonder how many miles we travel,
in this life because we never seem to stand still,
and we barely have any time to rest,
and it is no good for us at all,
for we with time are we not blessed,
but rarely do we have time for ourselves,
and we are mostly depressed,
and it should not be that way at all,
for it is all death, death, and taxes,
hearses and taxis,
a journey,
a journey on foot,
a journey on bicycle,
a journey by rickshaw or tram,
a journey by helicopter,
a journey by plane or by boat.
So many journeys,
so many many journeys by humankind,
but how many of them are valuable,
and meaningful and really necessary at all?
