Living on the autopilot mode

Many people are running around in the autopilot mode

Catatonically being thrown here and there by the forces of someone else’s movements

Deprived of self-volition and self-integrity

Robotized in a mechanical and aimless motion

Wasting away each and every precious second of life

Squandering their talents

Misusing the magical potentials provided by the existence

Blind to the exuberance that life manifests all the time

So, if you are living on an automatic and unintentional way

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Take the reins of your journey

And construct the dreamed life that you want to live

So that, when the final curtains of physical existence come down

You can cheerfully look back at the journey

With copious feelings of enthusiasm, gratitude, and fascination.
