The greatness of life

 
The greatness of life is not in its squandering
nor in the banalities and vanities that make it
a little piece of Gomorrah that obnubilates the senses
and which serial killer extinguishes coexistence.

 
It is not in making it a delicacy of absurd facts
nor in believing that we are part of an empty existentialism
where the value of the same is less than the reason,
mathematics where subtractions are the main factor.

 
It is in valuing the miracle in which millions of cells
were able, with divine benevolence, to unite and create
a unique and perfect being, rational and with free will
to decide the importance of moving through it.

 
The greatness of life lies in being the heirs
of the purest feeling in the universe, love
and be philanthropists of the same for as the predecessors
of every generation to be fertile ground for it to flourish.
