Poem
Under the shadow Of your past mistakes, you live And the way you perceive Life is itself a deceive For there is more to life Than occupying space and time You think you live life to the fullest But you are the most clueless And blindest Get a life You pursue happiness But you don’t see the pass through Because you must carry it with you Like a guitar For happiness cannot be pursued Like information perused Or like a child amused It must ensue Not like the life You intend to live up to Traded by living Someone else’s opinion of you Like many times they have told you You amount to nothing And even though you are always bluffing To be bravely bold You seem like you need to be consoled For you grumble, get angry Eat too much, drive too fast Your life is caught up Like fish gills in a net And frankly while others feel the rain You just get wet You don’t even know the difference That is why you have resigned to exist Instead of living You don’t know the strategy to exit Or the quickest escape While friends tell you that you are in shape You wish they could strip naked the truth Or undrape the reality That you are but a walking corpse And every day that goes It gets worse Get a life You say marriage Was your greatest achievement Because it guaranteed you sex But even dummies marry And one of them happens to be your ex Now what? You don’t understand What has brought your marriage to a sweet end? Or perhaps by moving on You have begun to understand And that doesn’t make you under achiever Get a life Not a rifle To end your own life For your mind is tainted With to-do lists Shame you don’t know Which one you should do first at least? So, you weaken your thinking With the drinking Thinking the stress would go away But instead, you let stay Of misery And so good plans That you make go astray Get a life Someone once said Aspire to inspire before you retire And I say Inquire before you set it on fire Forget the past and hang out with the yet-to-come Just like love Life too is not just a common noun It is also a verb And if Mario got one You should too So, walk the talk Get a life
