Here and There

Here, what is, “Here”?

Here, is what we strive for

Here, we are running, fighting, killing for “Here”

Why struggle for Here?

We struggle to find our way, Here

Why Here?

Why not There?

Should we strive for Here or There?

We are Here for a few sessions

Then we go There

There, is infinite

So why do we strive for Here

We ultimately end up There

Should we not strive for There?

Instead of Here

If one strives for Here

One will get what does not last

If one strives for There

One will get what is eternal lasting

What is our way?

Our way is to strive, to struggle

To get There before we get There

We end up

There not Here
