How Fragile Is Life

How fragile is life?
One minute we smile,
the next we grieve...
taking with us all vanity,
which is worthless gold!

How fragile is life?
Be aware of the one
spreading hate to defend
the hypocritical creed:
your existence means little,
or nothing to him who seeks 
blood to sacrifice any life
that appeases his god.

How fragile is life?
It's a very delicate flower
swept away by a violent storm,
which can quickly erase
the incredible beauty not seen
by the eyes pursuing death!
