Life Is Diabetic

Life is diabetic
Life is sweet 
Yet bitter 
Ever wonder why 
What we enjoy 
Could be our killer
Cos we enjoy but 
Fail to prevent
Even when the warning
Is clear 
We still run to the sweetness
Of life 
Still without minding
Just to enjoy the moment
To cry at the end 
What a civilization

Life is diabetic
You keep living
A high life 
Thinking you are 
Bigger than normal 
Enjoying your young 
Prime time like you can 
Never get old 
Forgetting to think 
Cos life is so sweet 
Especially at this time 
When the young hot blood 
Don't want to waste no time 
Yet spend time to enjoying
With ignorance 

Life is diabetic
Enjoy life yes 
But don't forget 
What is sweet 
Can kill too
Maximize your self
To be able to be in charge 
In charge of your mind 
In charge of your soul self 
In charge of your personality
In charge of your life 
Cos when you are carried
Away by the sweetness of 
Life please 
Just remember that 
Life is diabetic
