Life

So often can dark times be misused
Ever so often we find ourselves intertwine between
Yet we find ways to not be accused
From a world so vast we can only live within

Sadly, its only with age we can understand
Age to build experience to somehow finally… see
Those of things when young could not comprehend
To digest for one’s mind for humanity to be

It isn’t just how we can know sooner
Simply life is life simply
To look for the worst and hope for the better
Simply if not judgmentally

How I have travelled so far
To come to this day for today
To be baffled by things bizarre
An age less am I not a yesterday?

If life is good will you pursuit
If life being bad do you discontinue?
Times with both did we not overrule?
Is there even life for once we knew?
