Life

Always unimpressed
Never cares about others interest
Ever willing to get you suppressed
Often desiring to be defended

Oh human existence
Joy of the wretched
Tears of the opulence
Man is ever unsatisfied

Life is beautiful
Life is meaningful
Some are insatiable
Certain behaviours are unbelievable

Work while the light fades
Work with life in the shades
Reap the fruits of your labour
Leap  the joy of your harbor
