RATHER

 How’d it be, being a tree

Rather being a human

How’d it be, being brave,

Rather being a coward

How’d be, being a lover,

Rather being a hater.

How’d it be, handling ecstasies,

Rather than enjoying them

How’d it be, living an emperor

Rather being a slave of the mind.

How’d be, being a human,

Rather being just a man
