Life

What does it mean to be alive. We go to the edge and dive in things that are unknown to us. Only to became a culture clone and hear the groans of people that do not want us to succeed. People live life only to die a lonely death. Some live life to die rich. Some live life to die sad. But one thing that have in common they get put in a ditch.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Robert, a less-than-cheerful mood well-set. I note that sometimes, the ditch comes to the living, as with the inebriate stumbling, falling into one in winter weather, crashing through a top covering of ice, finding a foot or more of cold muddy water below. Good times....
