When The Music Of Life Will Be Taken Away Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Scribbling my thoughts
While my headphone plays a song
Conveying with a sublime message
Like someone inducing on me
a lesson to be humble

Learn to be humble oh you dust
Learn to be meek oh you clay
For you won’t bring your power and gold
nor your wealth will go with your soul

Be grateful you were given life and breath
Be thankful you were given a spirit
For your physical body will just be feasted by the worms
and the earth will swallow up your flesh and bones

Don’t be vain with your fleeting glory
Nor be too proud of your physical beauty
Do your everyday trade with reverence and honesty
while the music of your life is still at play.
