I stand on the beach, gazing beyond the horizon
I am thinking of why i am so different from other citizens
In a good way or bad way, i am yet to decide
For within me, i know the truth resides
There are three things the flesh solely requires passionately
Money, Power, and absolute immortality
Thus we live in times where the first is essential
The second is barely attained except through something special
But the third is the rarest gem of all
It is the attribute that people with the first two cannot have, at all
Immortality, it is a blessing and probably a curse
Who can be so sure?, though some with it walk amongst us
Money, I soldi, Monnaie, Dinero, Geld, Panam
Power, Potere, Puissance, El Poder, Macht, Sakphi
Immortality, immortalità, immortalité, inmortalidad, onsterfelijkheid
These, all these are what we solely desire, or is it not?
Can man's hunger be satisfied on a long-run?
While i thinketh this, i see these three in form of a creature
Money, in form of a snake, Power, in form of a bull
And immortality in form of a hydra, what a group
And just as they came forth, i saw another set of three
Peace, in form of a dove, Happiness, in form of Quokka
And Love in form of a butterfly, such a beautiful sight
In this i understood what i must do, what i must pursue
Peace, Happiness, and Love are now my three basic desires
But i also noticed a pattern, if the first three are the spearhead
The latter never follows, they scatter
But if the latter leads the formation, the other have no choice but to follow
and thus it is clear, in the most stand away ever
Peace begot Money, Happiness begot Power
And Love begot immortality, now that is a strong tower
And so, i must say this vision was worth it, i cannot lie
I would have said more but a kid just kicked the beach sand into my eyes

I drain my thoughts through my pen. That's the only way I breathe.
