Life o Life (LoL)
All day long, I’m staring at outside
Wishing life could have been better
I saw a textbook on my table
It reminded me of essay writing classes
Life is like an essay, a composition
It maybe short… It maybe long….
But who cares, it’s our stories anyway….
And we wish to write our own way
Life’s a narrative essay, a construct
Events after events shaping our very lives
Building our plot over time like a storyboard
Tales after tales, recounting our struggle with lives
Moments after moments, capturing our dramatized expressions
Logic or illogical, that’s our question of the story
Life’s a process essay, a change….
For better or worse…we will never know
Good or bad, Black or white…
How and how kept howling in the heart…
How could this happening in our life
Sequences of events playing in our mind
Life’s more than a cause and effect essay
We wonder why, we wonder how
We wander here, we wander there
What causes trouble, we asked…
What’s with the effect, we wondered….
Woe to the heart, we can’t help it…
Life can be a comparative essay
Discriminatory at its best while we were all the same
We shared the essence of being called humans
But race, religion and background differentiate us
Some are rich, some are poor, we’re not the same
Compare and contrast the realities of our lives
Life isn’t just a straight line, it has ups and downs
Life isn’t just ended with a line, it has full of paragraphs
Life isn’t just writing the essay, we have to plan and organize it
Life isn’t just rushing the essay, we won’t be able to complete it
Life is but a life, living out loud or living on loose, lit it up
Life is just lame since we talked as if we understand it..
Life is about getting a life, a brave account of how we live
