March & Stroll

March to death and walk of life
Stroll hand and hand
Meeting and greeting
On the street
And in the corridor
Some personalities
Build up
Others tear down

Overreacting to affirmation and insult
The result neutral
If we live in the present tense

Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow you will die
And pouring your life out
As a drink offering are
Not mutually exclusive if
You live in the now

Empathy becomes great contenter
If I bear with the weaknesses
I see on others
Conscious that
I am blind to many of my own

The dung we smell
Is ground into our shoes
If you are projecting an image
That might is bad news

If you live your experiences
You know it is called
Paying your dues

So keep stepping
To the marchers beat
Not regretting the moments you meet
Affirmers and insulters
On streets and in corridors

Age will lead to forgetting
In this walk of life
With each step
Simply treat people right
