Life Is Too Short

Life is extremely short:
To have friends and watch them hurt,
To have ideas; and then abort,
To judge others; no matter their ‘worth’,
To encourage stereotype of any sort,
Don’t waste life; it is much too short,
Cherish and enjoy it: from womb to dirt.
                                 End

Well said, Dion. Yet, some things are unavailable, and others have to be learned the hard way. I think we humans were made to struggle, at least somewhat.
