Time flowing in the universe
If it’s limitless,
A narrow path passing between
Darkness before birth and darkness after death
Is this time here and now
Even the most beautiful flower withers
And firewood soon turns to ash
While we have no idea what is what
Meeting, departing, being born and dying
Only the selfish genes switch over to next bodies
And smile, acquiring everlasting life
Father, grandfather and great grandfather
You can recall their names , three generations at most
The rest are only calcium
The universe that gave birth to the earth
Is as silent as a grave
Could it be that now is a dream , or is the dream now?
The sun itself is a hot dream

In everyone’s body they are working hard
Yes, they are Mitochondria and they are different beings from us humans
They’ve been parasites in humans for hundreds of thousands of years
They are the power plant of our energy
We couldn’t live without them
What a blessing !
Humans, dogs, cats and plants,
All of us have mitochondria that are linked
I wonder if they are smiling secretly in each of our bodies
Maybe our bodies have become their slaves?
You could say that we have a civilization in our cells
The civilization is very twisted
But that might be exactly what they want

Well, we are living in an industrial society
We just got to do as we are told
No creativity necessary
Japan takes pride in its productivity and manufacturing quality
Gotta catch up and overtake what we already have
And make everything cheaper and cheaper
Companies don’t look at anything apart from
standard scores
Companies just look at what students have done, not what they will do
First-rate, second-rate, third-rate
This is the way they rank people
and judge who they are
If we carry on like this
Japan’s gonna fall apart
Standard scores might be just a reflection of the society
How am I ranked now?
Comparing yourself to others is a sad life
You sigh when looking at those higher up
You feel proud of yourself looking down at those below
You don’t want to be discriminated against
But kind of want to discriminate

Panda steak
I’d love to try that
I bet it tastes yummy
Survival of the fittest
In the food chain
It’s the way of the world
But we all buy packed meat
And keep pets from a pet shop
But we tend to forget all that
And just shout about animal welfare
So are we only concerned about whether they are yummy or cute?
What meats we eat is just a difference of culture
It doesn’t matter if we eat dogs or whales
As long as we are careful not to make them extinct
You say you know all that, but a pork cutlet is so tasty
And cats are cute , cockroaches are disgusting
Get real, you could never be a vegetarian
But for some reason, Sir Panda,
You are lucky enough to be given special treatment
That cows and pigs could only dream about
Isn’t it lucky you look so unique!
I bet pandas taste yummy
I’ll have steak or stew
You munch on fried chicken
While you tenderly enjoy your hobby of birdwatching
Eating too much of it means more animal welfare
The TV in a waiting room shows scenes of seal clubbing
And a woman there exclaims, “How can they be so cruel!”
Yet she was the one dressed in a fur coat
As for horses, oh yes, they are our loyal friends
So you can ride them
And use them for horse racing as much as you like
But in the end, they will be turned into canned meat
Egocentric zoo
They give names to the elephants and the turtles
And gloat about how successfully they look after them
In short their animals are just a show
I really don’t think koalas would be good to eat
But I bet pandas taste yummy
I’ll have steak or stew
