Life



LIFE

Life could be skeptical
Also could be critical
Life wasn't fair to me
Neither was i fair to life
Life did wrong to me
I did wrong on life too
Life was bad for me
But i was even badder
I spice life with fun and love
But life sauced me with knowledge and wisdom
I was tired of life but i was never going to leave yet
Now am an literary intelligent idiot
I conspire with my pen and my book
which are my friends to criticise and gossip about life
I ink on pages my despair's and atrocities of life
Atrocities which i myself isn't left out of
Life should be scared of me
Because i will challenge for pendulum

I will raise questions like
Why??
Why can't Life and Death be one family
Why can't they reconcile
Why can't they be like brothers
And let us live in peace
I will try telling Life we love him
Life may be bitter sweet
Full of Struggling,Bustling and Hustling.
But yet we never want to leave this "LIFE"
