As it is.

Life is as it is.
The world turns around
It goes upsidedown
Then back to front
And side to side
Tilting the earth
Changing the tide
The moon exerts dominance
The sun gives way
Then seizes back power
To bring back the day.
This is life as it is
On our rock twirling around
Side to side
And upsidedown
Again and again and again
On poles and an axis
Our world
Our earth
Our weary lives played out
For gods' benefits
Tiny players in a giant game of chess
Lead me to rest
I want to sleep
And then we begin all over again.
