Life Is But — A Dream

Life is but —
A dream — only that
In this dream —

You need to go to school — pass exams
Get a job — wake up in the morning
Wash — dress
Eat — commute
Do the work

Get on with others — watch the clock
Earn — count the money
Pay the bills — taxes
Get shopping — cook
Eat — toilet
Clean up

Be sick — in pain
Grow old — waste away
Be bored —
Wait — for it all
To end —

Otherwise —
In metaphysical considerations
Life is but —
A dream
