Life Is a Tragedy

I am not a pessimist
However I must let you know:
Every life dies, and 
Once dead cannot be immortal

Body separates from soul
And soul flees to heaven or hell
Nowhere hides a fact
That you will be no longer you

As I knew as I don't know
What can help us to substitute 
For God's sake ,disease, pain and 
Unsolvable issues for Wealth and health 
For everybody including him/er and you 

I know by watch, and I know by feel
This embarrassing limit does act
And never stops by now 
From the very long time ago 

I realized that Everyone's life is a tragedy
And saviors are too old
Left each earthly life alone
Compromise or compete for a mutual good
It's no doubt the best route to go
