Go For It

Life is a dangerous struggle Full of inconsistencies, challenges and pains Life is not fair even to the fair skinned The dark skinned are not faring better either In everyone's backyard a little rain must drop Whatever be your lot, set your goals and go for it. In life, even the rich also cry The poor in pains and agonies cries ceaselessly The middle class have no problems 'cause they never existed The orphans on the street go bare footed and hungry Everyone is plagued by this turbulent journey called life Whatever be your lot, set your goals and go for it. Life is an endless and unpleasant adventure Ending in one phase and continues in another phase Beggers beg and no one gives to them Widows cry and no one hears their voice Everyone is caught up in this crazy web called life Whatever be your lot, set your goals and go for it In life, the religious are not the righteous The righteous looks rough and rugged Unnoticed because they have no class For long we have been in this turmoil called life And it has promised to continue unabated, no end at sight Whatever happens, set your goals and go for it The smart acts smartly by running away They cross the sea, the Mediterranean sea Unfortunately, you can't run away from life Run away from it here and you will meet it there Even though we're here, I know we'll soon be there Only if we can set our goals and go for it Life is everywhere, has no friends, has no foes Life rewards, reproved and reprimands Everyone is lotted opportunities in life And it's their responsibility to take them The faithful pray while the unfaithful prey Whatever you do, set your goals and go for it Life has no end, life has no beginning Life is an omen, the omen never lies Life keeps everyone busy on their own lane Though some lanes are fast, some are slow But ultimately every vehicle gets to its destination Only if we can just set our goals and go for it Life cares for no one, Life is hostile Life is an excruciating and toilsome lot Imperfect Life preaches perfection Unfortunately, no one needs perfection We're all trapped in this vicious cycle called Life Whatever be your lot, set your goals and go for it

I keep going back to this line and smiling so big: "The middle class have no problems 'cause they never existed" - it reminds me of the stereotype about the middle child. Life is everywhere, has no friends, has no foes. This is a terrific poem!
