' Your Life, Your Treasure '
by Thaddeus Hutyra
Ave Maria, oh, Ave Maria !
Luciano Pavarotti is already in Heaven
but we are here, on our beloved Earth
trying to solve puzzles
which staple themselves up by the day
Philosophy for example
what philosophy have you in mind ?
Beginning with the basic
the one from the streets
you hear mostly
enthusiastic remarks
cheering you up
Here they come, loll
Look on the bright side of life
Aim to be a winner but don't care if you lose
if you don't try you'll never succeed
Do you get a " no " as a response ?
Just ask the question to someone else
who might say yes instead
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
Live poor and live rich, enjoy your life
reach the extremities of life
Only once you've been sad
you can truly experience happiness
Live safe and live dangerous
stay in bed all day on one day
and go everywhere
do everything the other day
You have nothing to lose
and it's not the end of the world!
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
Take a random bus
without knowing its destination
Book a flight to a place
you've never heard of
Sneak in a cinema and watch a movie
cycle through an indoor shopping centre
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
Do a bungee jump, let the adrenaline rush
every now and then
Be naughty, be bad don't feel shy
don't care what others think
Do what makes you happy
love life and live love
Be young, be wild, be free, be adventurous
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
Wow ! Love life and and live life
what else one is needing?
And yes !! Be young, be wild
be free, be adventurous
Rock the day and rock the night
shoot for stars, never give up
That's what life is, scintillating life
the actor or actress of the day
day after day, decades after decades
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
Go and see your best friends
never forget them
They are your priceless treasure
Enjoy time together, listen music
or just do skateboarding
Who knows perhaps you become
a champion, desired by all ?!
Well, be in all states, love your life
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
Never let yourself down
and keep on going on
Yes, enjoy your life
again and again, and yet again
till the bulb of your life
shall go out definitely
You know there's no new bulb of life
to substitute the previous one
Be happy this bulb, the bulb of life
lasts so long
sometimes even to your nineties
the bulb of life, indeed
the Guinness Records' winner, sure !!
As to me personally I confess
traveling is the best way
to be open-minded and happy
life realizing to the very limits
But it's easy to say
more difficult to realize
The question is
why do we stay sometimes at home
definitely too much
and don't get our backs
on adventurous tourist trips
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
I know also quite good
friendship can save the world
but isn't it funny
we have more friends on Facebook
than in our real lives ?
Well, the virtual life thus !!
Cheers, virtual man I am
cheers, virtual men and women we are !!
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
No excuses thus, live your life
to the fullest
Nothing is really impossible
This latest is rather metaphysic
cos there are so many obstacles
in the real life, so many walls
one can never break
everybody knows it !!
What else can be said
Well, If you're happy with yourself
you're perfect, no need to change
Others make life of course worth living
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
Now let's look what the toughest minds
have to say to us
Look at what they say with a wink
What in fact they know
about your very own life ?
What right do they have
to dictate you
what you can and what you can't ?
Just say no, it's my life
unless what they say it's just a theme
to discuss about at a friendly meeting
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
All of them, from the so called politicians
to the so called religious leaders
finally the so called philosophers
they are just a pain in the back
most of the time
turning their very views
to the so called divine and only divine notions
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria
you're lucky, Pavarottii
you're in Heaven right now !!
Take mr Putin or rather tsar Putin
into your account for example
The guy, who dictates laws in his Russia
the laws which exclude
minorities and give everything to majorities only
The question is whether it's all right
to enforce a system
of dictatorial rule
of majorities over minorities
Well, you know it good
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
Now the philosophers, wise men, of course
I am here like a curiosity driven cat
asking what a shot
have the philosophers in the locker ?
Tones of books, of course
making you more confused after reading than before
On philosophy of mind
you learn about so called dualism and monism
biological naturalism, surrealism
many other schools of thought
Then there come epistemology
logic, aesthetics and metaphysics
The list grows substantially, more and more
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
Is these all needed for the man of the street ?
Certainly yes but as addition only
to what you think, what you want
You're the boss in other words
of everything what concerns your life
Wow ! Love life and and live life
What else one is needing?
And yes !! Be young, be wild
be free, be adventurous
Rock the day and rock the night
shoot for stars, never give up
That's what life is, scintillating life
Life, the actor or actress of the day
day after day, decades after decades
your entire life !!
Your life is your treasure, indeed
Oh, Ave Maria, Ave Maria !!
