Important moments (or- Importance of moments)
In some moments
I hear whispers
They say:" you are dying,
Every single, pitiful, disgraceful moment
You mindlessly throw away
Playing a video game,
Watching the television,
Running on the treadmill and even playing the violin.
There is only one ending.
There is only one thing that is certain
And that is death.
No afterlife and no consciousness,
No feelings and no emotions.
A cold and finite death."
(A Cruel and sobering fact that clears my mind from the shock).
It is the most definite and undeniable truth that serves to remind us,
the mortals,
We are not permanent
We only have one chance to make a difference
One shot at the title
And if you don't seize these moments
The others will remain, forever
Insignificant
Small
Meaningless
Tiny
irrelevant and purposeless
inconsequential and pointless
useless and nugatory…
normal.
And so are you.
