The planet spins on its axis 
Its never-ending revolutions
Like a fine tune written a billion 
years ago in the same continual rhythm 

Within its gravity walls over centuries 
Its inhabitants have had to survive the incredible dangers of this new-born
home
Surviving in this diverse world of land-
mountains and oceans meant obtaining food and shelter with shear strength-
determination and courage 

Much  has changed over time but the rudiments of our anscestors still exist
though with more sophistication and light years separated from this primitive 
struggle 

The continuance of life tells us that our time on earth is limited 
By time evolution we live and in a tick of the clock we are gone
Our basic goals remain food and shelter 
but with comfort and quality 
Each culture may define it and pursue it 
differently 

On an individual level how do you and I 
navigate through this maze of goals and issues seeking a degree of happiness 
for ourselves and loved ones 
We develop a guide to aid us in our quest 
We may do it and interpret it differently 
but in our complex societies-something 
our anscestors could have never imagined-we have the opportunity to reach our goals 
We must be prepared for disappointment as well as success 
and motivated to overcome the negatives in our search
Irrespective of what we do-
The Beat Goes On
