Live Your Life

Are we even human? And are we really real Cause we’ve been cursed so many times That we forget how it feels like to feel We strive, Fight, And try to get rich, And as the day goes by, We just grow old, Cold, And hard hearted. Forgetting life’s for the living, Cause we never live it. Action speaks louder than words they say, Yet so far, we’ve done nothing but talk. We paint pictures of a perfect world, In our words, Which is nothing but distorted. Later in life, We try to hide all our lies from behind, As a little girl cries “I’m alive, I’m alive” Can’t believe I’m breathing, See, every time I hear you scream On a screen, Imma quickly get to leaving, How can I eat when I watch her bleeding? How can I turn the heat on my heater when I watch her freezing? So if I hear her scream once more, Imma hold my breath, Close my eyes, And pretend I’m leaving, Then pray to the Almighty she doesn’t die. No matter how bad your life seems, Believe me, Someone wishes he lived it, So live your life, Cause life is for the living, So live it, Or you’re better off dead.

Very wonderful poem verses about life and mankind in general. Your words say volumes of truth to me, Mubarak. So much can be done and is not by any of us, or not enough good and too much wrong of many. Your poem makes one ponder for sure. A 7 from me. Love your poem! :) love and light! Xxxx D.
