The Essence of Life

by Seul Shahkee

 

I see life as a gift
That transforms god into more than a myth
I see shooting stars yet I don't wish
Because I know it won't come true
What do humans think I have become?
When they don't even know where I am from!
I speak with my ancestral tongue
Because that is the time where I belong
I now know the essence of life
For this is my pain and strife
I live logically
With all technology
And I created
Wonders not yet to be explained

What I am they call envy
They give a burden which is so heavy
My thoughts are beyond that of normal
Yet I must be so formal
I know the art
That lives in the heart
I know the truth
That gives us proof

They call me Shahkee
Yet they do not see
That the word does not make me
Yes, I am he
A warrior who fights fearlessly
A leader who leads with honesty
And prosperity
If I tell you the essence to be
And still have this memory
Will you tell them about me?
