A POEM about those things that make us feel alive
what is life
if not the cry of a newborn
the sound of your favourite person’s car horn
the sumptuous taste of sweet caramel popcorn
the immeasurably great potential in being freeborn
what is life
if not the ultrasound of a wanted fetus
the healing properties of the eucalyptus
an increase in social status
being the sole owner of a most sort after apparatus
completing your first self-owned business prospectus
what is life
if not making your first million
earning the first-position pedestal on the pavilion
being worth over a billion
commanding a battalion
single-handedly stopping a protest from expanding into a full-blown rebellion
winning your first medallion
these and so much more is life
