no one is eternal

all day long I’ve been drinking coffeeÂ
and wondering if I am a monkey among dogsÂ
or a dog among monkeysÂ
certainly there is something that doesn't fitÂ
I often seem to be going against the currentÂ
trying to swim upstreamÂ
or peeing into the windÂ
I don’t know if I will ever figure it outÂ
but the french roast coffee todayÂ
is excellentÂ
-----
under this sky no one is eternalÂ
upon this earth we can depend on deathÂ
and no we will not be rebornÂ
heaven and hell are bullshitÂ
there is no light and there is no tunnelÂ
we just won’t exist anymoreÂ
and what's so bad about thatÂ
hoist up your grown-up britchesÂ
and do your deeds right nowÂ
right exactly nowÂ
-----
to be more kindÂ
both because I canÂ
and because of the timesÂ
when I was not.
