Awaken each day
To what has accrued
And to what awaits
The unwary and rude
Awaken each day
To how much you’ve lost
And how much you’ve gained
By counting the cost
Awaken each day
Or don’t if you choose
Winning the game
Is learning to lose
Awaken each day
To what has accrued
And to what awaits
The unwary and rude
Awaken each day
To how much you’ve lost
And how much you’ve gained
By counting the cost
Awaken each day
Or don’t if you choose
Winning the game
Is learning to lose
I have nothing to say / and I am saying it / and that is poetry. (John Cage)
Alternately:
We have nothing to say / and we are saying it / and that is humanity.
