the days are numbered but we can still have the venture
you can always see the sun
as it shines to every man
but only some fares the light
‘cause some stay in their shade
you can always hear the birds
as it sings uncertain tunes
but people engage in thuggery
that causes both to expire
you can always feel the breeze
as it soothes the troposphere
but only to rebound and die
as someone lays a wall
