"As long as I am still around / I think some meaning might be found / I have to try I need to know / Or leave you laughing when I go"

Transcendental Sonnet #1254:

To Hell with Death

 

non moriar sed vivam

 

The wheel of karma turns again

Around and round and down the drain

Another misadventure lost

Yet God forgives nor counts the cost

Against a lonely fool like me

Who wanted a new family

And got his teeth kicked in instead

But folks it still beats being dead

 

As long as I am still around

I think some meaning might be found

I have to try I need to know

Or leave you laughing when I go

And I forget and I forgive

To hell with death: I want to live

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
