The Mundane in the Eternal

There goes the suffering of our existence
There goes the hopes of our shared dreams
It all goes around and around in potential
There goes the death of our history 
There goes the fighting of our past
Around and around go the stories
There goes the gesture of our humanity
The painted pictures, the cave walls,
There goes another day
The waking up out of the dream
Right now, back to now
The grunts
The huffs and puffs
Looks for things to eat
Throws rocks around
There goes another day
There goes another lost battle
There goes another lost cause
You can’t save them all
Not the strippers, the teenagers
Watch them go, no eye contact
There goes the hope for the future
The smiling sun rays everywhere
The clouds that make people hug
The joy that makes people young
The incessant need for joy
Wake up everyday and be glad
Face the sun
Giver of life
The gesture of humanity
Walks around on this planet
Looks for things to paint with
Huffs and gruffs
Finds things to grab
Draws self portraits
Looks for things to eat
The gesture of humanity 
Came out of the lightening
Spoke about fire
Made up stories
Made up lies
Paints a picture of the stars
Points and gruffs
Gives you a hug
Walks you around
Makes you dinner
The gesture of humanity
Finds things for you
Puts them inside of other things
Gives you more things
Smiles like the clouds
Looks for things to eat
Huffs and grunts
Paints a picture
Tells a story
Goes to sleep
There goes another dream
There goes another chance
Here comes the list
Here is everything
Wake up and do everything
