OF LIFE AND DEATH TODAY: A 5-7-5-7-7-7-5-7-5-7 FLOW
(Apropos Of An Ironic Juxtaposed Reality)

Ironically,
it’s cheaper to live than die:
Save, self-cremation:-
Even then, you must pay for
The ashes to be cleaned up:-
And don’t forget, the family
Is charged to pay off all debts
That you may have left behind:-
Ironically,
We are born to live and die,
Life, being cheaper:
Funerals are expensive!

Some 5-7-5

God- a playing thought
Man and woman together
By the believed name

Blind by born inside
Sees nothing though sun alight
Coal –rich heart of fuel

Love- divine honey
Believer’s heart blooms fully
In faithful flowers

Blessings of elders
Can change roots of every life
If there's modesty

Buzzing life story
In the eardrums of flowers
To live on honey

(5-7-5) 



When things go just right 
Be happy,enjoy good times 
Fact,they won't be back.

Their time is now past. 

No matter,it's gone 
Whats past has fled and no more 
Look forward, no back. 

So dont cry too long 
Just go with the flow sometimes 
Door closes,another
