Life
Wondering at life i mused, it is stage by stage
Worrying in life i echoed, add nothing to the gauge
Weighing the life i noticed honour comes not by age
Wandering i discovered, life can put one in a cage
Watching i observed, there are people filled with rage
Waiting i witnessed, they were denied of their wage
Writing i cogitated in the corner of my cottage
What! i shouted, life's struggle is real and not a mirage
Working i realise Life doesn't gives what one deserves
Willing i Strife for i know life gives what one demands
We only need to take one step at a time.
