Christopher Hansard:[ the way things are]

what do you know

of how the way things are?

things are the way you see them

things are the way you breathe them

things are the way you react to them

things are the way you hold on to them

things are the way you love or hate them

essentially, things are the way they are

because of their inherent nature

the world is the result of itself, its not here for your benefit

your life, however, is the strand upon which you can

hang all your aims,wishes and desires

like little birds chirping on a line

celebrate your life as the way things are
