What Does It Mean To Be Alive?
What does it mean to be alive?
I'd really like to know.
Does it require a heartbeat, a pulse,
Or simply a mind of one's own?
Some say it's more complex,
A whole strew of things.
Started with our birth,
And dies with our ending.
Others argue that
Life keeps going on --
Long after we've departed,
Long after we are gone.
What does it mean to be alive?
I'd really like to know.
Does it require lungs that breathe?
A mobile set of bones?
Or is it just a state of mind?
A body that continually grows?
