(I)

I be life
I am that first breath each day you take
I am the true love you'll never foresake
You see me as flowers in full bloom
And that stirring within the womb.
Flying as birds in sky
Or an eternal spirit that never dies
I be Life
Though days with me may put you to the test
A good nights sleep can release a little stress.
I bring you the sighs of relief
While keeping it real in the streets
I am the sounds of heartbeat drums
I am that garbage-digging bum
I am the scent good and bad
I am both the best and worst sex you've ever had
I am that itch that you scratched into a sore
I am all these and more
For I am Life
I will continue on
Even when you think it can be totally destroyed
A part of me still lives on
So live me, love me, whether in victory or defeat
Live long and prosper cause life is never complete.


(II)

If you be life
Then I be your brother death
you make them exhale
I'll take their final breath
You may be the bird that sings or sang
I'm the dark side to the light the yin to the yang
Though many will think of me as just the end
I tell you this very day, I AM Life's best friend
To some I am that well known power that causes fear
To others I am the ending of the suffering they can no longer bare
After my brother has given you to me, for the that final change
I'll stop your body, but my brother allows your spirit to remain
I (Death) may only answer the questions my brother (Life) has given
So when time comes, I'll release you from your fleshly prison
So do not fear me, when your time comes to expire
Show your true strength and embrace the fire
An unending game where only Life & Death can win
You may think life is just the beginning
But I think Life is how Death begins.
So do not fear me just because of my rep
You never know, you just may come to appreciate Life’s little brother Death.
