Like An Upside Down Funnel On A Coffee Cup

Life goes up and remembers forward

Starts right there in the ground.

An ant, a worm, a disgusting bug

Buddy, you’ve been around.

And each life time

You remembered up

Like a funnel pointing skyward

On a coffee cup

Life remembers forward and

Life goes up.

Ants have no memory of humans or birds

Can’t remember being a cow and living in herds.

Don’t recall being an alligator

Lawd, we hate to but sooner or later

Life remembers forward

Ain’t no going back.

And life goes up ’til it comes back down

That is just a fact.
