Life Afterlife

Life was back then, till the summer of '09
Afterlife came after that, I'd already begun to pine.

Life was when I went to college
Short days and nights on high gear
Afterlife's when I live with the knowledge
That the weekdays are alike and weekends are dear.

Life was when I had all the choices
Every flavor I had tried and tested
Afterlife brought its own juices
Most were water, sugar, and I adjusted.

Life was when I didn't care what I was doing,
So long as I was having fun
Afterlife is when I don't know what I'm doing,
Or why; all I do is run.

Run the rat race at a fast pace,
Or it'll be nothing but all things bad.
Find yourself in the sewage or in a lab,
But do it fast, or you'll be had.
