Who said «The unexamined life is
Not worth living,« I have taken that
To heart, instilled it with a power so
I examine every thing as it happens
As if by tearing at it, I will find a gem
Of wisdom, learn a life lesson even
If it's from myself alone for myself
Alone. «Lest I forget« is a phrase I
Stick to as well. I have to examine
My life in the moment, «lest I forget«
And if there is pain in the moment, I
Have to look at that, too. Later it will
Be too late. "Don't turn those coals,"
You say, "Let them burn. They're still
Hot." «Too hot to handle,« I wonder.
this is our life
