2. your life is your life.

3. don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission

5. There are ways out.

6. There is a light,
somewhere

7. it beats the
darkness.
It may not be much
light but,

8. Be on the
watch.

9. The Gods will offer you
chances

10. know them,
take them

11. You can’t beat death

12. But
you can beat death
in life, sometimes.

13. And the more often you learn to do it

14. The more light there will be.

15. your life is your
life.

16. know it while you have it.

17. You are
marvelous

18. the gods wait to delight in
you.
