Author's Notes: This is a "Tanka" or Japanese verse form write on the subject: "Life." For this write, I've looked at "Life" from the perspective of what should we do with it since the actual concept of "Life" itself is at once quite all-encompassing and overwhelming. The notions I've developed in this instance actually reflect to a large degree my own personal view and application concerning "Life." The syllable count for this Tanka is: 5-7-5-7-7 (for a total of 31 syllables). (Gary Bateman - November 12, 2014) (Tanka poetic format)
