Dear earthlings,

What is life?

Life-life is like most games we played as kids... 

Especially those where we'd form a circle, 

A real big circle, like 

Our mother's cooking pot...

Like "who is the garden".

Like "fire on the mountain".

The game begins, then the reaper goes round

Calling people to follow him

One after the other... 

Till no one is left... 

When one leaves the circle,

There's a little unrest, 

But soonest we all go back to the status quo.

Every time one leaves, another replaces.

So it goes on and on and on and on and on ...

Till no one is left...

The game is life .

The circle, Earth .

The players, we.

The one outside the circle, calling, the reaper.

Replacement of people, birth...

This, dear earthlings,

Is life...
