The Way We Live


To be immortalized is every mortal’s wish.

For only this do some of them exist:

To hear their peers merely say their name

In recognition of their “hard-earned” fame.


-A mortal lives for forever.


Likewise, to be alive is any ghost’s desire,

If it oddly grows depressed or tired

Of eternal sleep or peaceful rest

And so decides living is the best.


-A ghost lives a spirited life.


Yet, to live and die is the lot in life of adventurers,

Who ever savor the world for all its treasures.

Thus, only this lively lot will know the candid agony

Of an unknown end at the callous hands of irony…


-Adventures are lived in the moment.


After we overturn every heavy rock

And unearth each secret that we sought,

We will toil in the soil until there we will lie;

An absolute adventurer must absolutely die.


-No stone is left unturned until at last, a gravestone.
