The ultimate life manifesto (thanks space face XXX)

The Laughing Heart 

 your life is your life 

don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. 

be on the watch. 

there are ways out. 

there is a light somewhere.

it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. 

be on the watch. 

the gods will offer you chances. 

know them. take them. 

you can’t beat death 

but you can beat death in life, 

sometimes. 

and the more often you learn to do it, 

the more light there will be. 

your life is your life. 

know it while you have it. 

you are marvelous 

the gods wait to delight in you. 

 Charles Bukowski
