A waste of time

Has this life really been spent,
Doing things that were'nt meant,
Saying words that one forgets,
Being someone elses pet ?
Has it been a waste of time ?
Making money for the heck,
Waking up, feeling spent,
Making other peoples tents.

What if all of this were gone,
Could happiness, still be found,
Why do birds just leave the ground,
Flying seagulls make their sound,
Maybe it was meant to be,
Something different, for us to see,
One day everyone must die,
Why should we then live a lie.
Still this life must find its rhyme,
Then the wind will ring the chime.

Has it been a waste of time ?
Has it been a waste of time ?
