LIFE AND DEATH!

You will agree we have only one life here to live;

Good appetite to eat, sleep at nights and enjoy life! 

The fear of death and common sense to win over.

Your mood goes up and down; swings side to side! 

 

Life is hard; it is real struggle to work and prosper

You are happy at times, but nothing lasts forever!

We are on our heels for daily needs and comforts  

Cost of living's high, how to make both ends meet?

 

Childhood, student life and a job to secure livelihood 

You are grown up, bold and learnt many things needed. 

We have hearts and souls, full of energy and own mind

Married; wife, kids and elderly parents to love and care. 

 

We want food, shelter, good life and education for kids, 

Prosperity, happy life and peace at home! Life goes on! 

You forget pains, change the scenes and your mindset 

Keeping calm or meditate for a while; you will be alright! 

  

 You must keep your body and mind in good condition

Good health; physical work at days and rest at nights

You work well and earn money and save for rainy days

Health is wealth! No worries! Lead life on daily basis! 

 

No one has control over your destiny you take it easy.

Money comes and goes; it never stays with you forever 

Husband and wife stay together till they get tired and go!

Love family and kids; kids leave when they are grown up 

 

Natural calamities, famines could cause more poverty 

Wealth's a mirage on the horizon! Money's real evil;

Cost of living is sky high and poverty more, you starve!!

Family tragedies, your losses, accidents' so common.

 

Humanity is fine, its values worth to care and follow;

Man or woman, white or coloured, young or old folks

They are dirty and ugly or very good-looking fine guys!

Rich or poor, tall or short: leaning to any social traits?

Life is eternal; births and deaths in cycles; no control?  

You will be reborn as human beings if you are lucky!

No worries; life and death are two sides of one soul!!

You gain or lose; you face this here as your destiny.

         YOU MAY BE REBORN??
