$487.54

Life is a death rattle,
So those who really live shake it.
It is a despot miasma
But its better to breathe and live longer
Than hold your lungs rigid
And die premature.

All in all its all worth $487.54 -
Life, the hereafter, and the after there -
So spend it. Spend it all. Every dime.
The last thing you've got is time.
Buy stocks and trinkets, Go to Paris and learn.

I'm Ok with freedom,
But it too often mingles with despair.
Don't become a slave of freedom
Or completely free of a slave's despair.
Try to do with none of it if you can,
But love it anyways,
Because that is hope
Or at the very least, it's something good.
