Life happens

Life happens 
Life is beautiful oh yes it is 
Life is this life is that they say 
But how many are living nowadays 
What is the Cost of our freedom 
Are we born to pay
How can we deal with all this net of debt world wide 
What is the escape root to our global poverty 
Cos is obvious and clear
To so many of us in Africa that 
Life happens 



Life happens 
Life is beautiful yes oh it is awesome 
Life gives this life gives that they say 
As if they are perfect 
As if they created nature with God 
As if they know it all 
Take a close look around the world 
We are developing in crisis 
I was told it has always been this way 
I was told my Poetry can’t change nothing with out money and power 
I was warn to be careful for what I wish for 
So basically be a sheep 
I knew we are born to be free 
But at what cost is our freedom today 
When you think about it 
You will see for yourself why 
Life happens.

Richard, Wonderful lines in "Life happens". Such a strange way to happiness, is life. Sometimes find ourselves lost though it seems you're finding your way. Hope to meet you there someday. -Richard
