Life is full of tragedies

Tragedies that can be turned into joy

Tragedies that can kill the soul

Hardships we face

Crying out for help

Looking for a sign

We close our eyes

Subjected to darkness

Yet promised light

We search for ourselves

Finding money, clothes, jewelry and more

We define ourselves and others

Yet when given love, peace, and hope

We define nothing

Materials worth more than emotions

Money more important than time

No wonder some of us are living dead
