Carbon and Dust

 

we speak of life, of love, of lust 

we talk of loyalty and trust

of all the things that we discussed

we still end up carbon and dust

 

although we change, adapt, adjust

we shine the chrome, we scrape the rust

it’s so unfair, it’s so unjust

we still end up carbon and dust

 

we strive to do what’s right and just

we aim to do those things we must

and through life’s changes readjust

and still end up carbon and dust

 

we feel the wind, withstand the gust

we use its strength to give us thrust

to live a life that’s more robust

but still end up carbon and dust
