Dust
What am I that you're not!
what are we if not 'dust'?
Wonderfully made to last,
without Adam's but'
we would have eternity.

Our greed for forbidden fruits
blew us away.
Like the wind,
lost to no Return.

What are we if not dust!
what can replace our lust?

What is ours to boast,
mere dust in the air.

How long will we stay in town?
A hundred maybe two,
but who will we fool,
that we'd last a full moon,
we without tomorrow?

Shall we tell when we'd meet our end,
we don't know if its at hand.

What are we if not dust,
only what is with God counts.

Never remember what we should forget,
think more of what we shouldn't neglect.
Dust! dust!
what are we?
Repeat after me, "Dust!"
