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.
