how we all lost

once we were all alive hearts beating, minds talking.bodies mixing and faces gazing.
laughter and tears part of our language and expression, joy our father and pain our teacher
mercy and love the breast we fed from, consideration our brother and kindness our sister,
respect our honour and dignity our style. humbleness our meal and clothing and humility our pride.
shy and bashfulness our beauty, conscience our shelter and peace above all our objective, then alas
we stopped feeling and started over thinking and death took us all over and thus we walk while we dead.
