Life Challenger

He born alone 
 his mother was a bar waitress
 mixing and serving the drank for clients
 helping men to rest well in the night 
 living hard bad life
 struggling hard to get something for her son
 and….. 
 his father was nothing 
 retired military by politics in 93s
 drinking beer about all his hours
 smuggling good from outside of country
 put all money from smuggling to the lovely bar
 by drinking and buying bar bitches .

 In 98s the death was there 
 his father die on battle
 for trying to oppose bad government 
 his mother die of accident
 he was about 9 years old
 death made him like;
 small fish live together with big dangerous fish
 death made him life challenger
 he didn’t challenged by life 
 but he challenges life every single day
 he is still alive in big bad world
 living in all different standard of life
 living much time of poor… or sometimes a rich
 live in family home, orphan's home,…
 but he used to live alone on the street
 fighting hard for surviving 
 fighting himself, fighting with others
 fighting with his history
 fighting with his family background
 but he is still a life challenger  
 whether he was a small fish
 he completely survived these big ones 
 he was still stand strongly till now  
 he swore that; 
 he will never ever be challenged by life
 he will always challenge life.
