VAST ILLUSIONS

I insist. It's an illusion
Today it seem so real
And the next its as vast as an endless ocean
Morning comes and suddenly its afternoon
And just as if that's all
Suddenly its night
And light turns dark
When were we born
That death scares us already
The promise of life
Simply lasts the minute we living it
A life rocked by hardships
Suddenly in a short while sees fortune
Lives and languishes for a while in riches
And suddenly the hurrying chariot is knocking
Suddenly we were born
Suddenly death knocks
Where then is the life?
Where then is the time?
What in fact is the time?
When life depends on time
Why worship living when its worthless?
Why not worship time as its worth everything
Time unending
Time fathers life
And in time is a life buried
What is real? Life or time?
What is the illusion? Life or time?
