Starving in Metropolis

About Me


Living dreams, dreaming new
Springing forward to choose a life to get me by,
not a life that passes by.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might,
for in the grave, where you are going,
there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom
