survival animal at any cost
falling from cliff top height
to break broken crushed lost
was not humanities destiny
humanity aspires to arise free
abhors starvation death cruelty
we ask not for life but more
pain disease mortality we abhor
mere life among ashes dregs
is not enough absolution from tears
fears the trauma of bitter life
is sought in hope beyond life
beyond the grave a promise made hopefully
to ultimately be purified perfect eternally
made beautified in the final weighing of the soul
