Life Is Too Short

Life is too short I take look at my life I could see the green pastures Which are like garden of Eden They are full of fruit colorful fruit I could see the oranges mangoes and guavas I could even smell the sweet taste of aroma from nature but I am not there physical And life is too short to achieve everything But once at a time some say bit by bit some say steady but surely what do i say my dear friend because some people cant stand up strong some people cant wait for long while they have mission to complete and life is too short too short to achieve everything What is our youth doing in our communities ignoring politics while living under constitution Instead of fighting technical fight they are fighting physical fights killing our innocent brothers raping and robbing the women of our nation these people have lost their humanity I shall recall on our great heroes who stood up and fought for our rights yet they knew their limits but they went far beyond their limits because they knew that life is too short to live under oppression By Siphelele Nsele

Thank you for sharing your thoughts/feelings so poetically...'Life is too short': says more than may be written - perhaps our art of poetry may be as suitable as this piece is!
