LIFE


Oh, what a life!
What a life I have
There's no day to be happy
Oh, life!
I wish I knew.

I wish I knew
Oh! About these facts
That together with the cock I'd rise
To start the day long race
Searching for a future
What a desperate life!

The journey recurs every day
Every week and forever will I run
Looking for the unknown
Neither unheard of future
But neither the lion
Nor the porcupine
Sympathize with me

This is the life where
The elephant and his servants' eyes
Are all coked on me
To tress my mistakes in the race
That I may suffer, cleaning his palace
And yard paths.

But oh!
In this life, I am confident
Yes, to jump over all the stumps in the race
Miss food, sleep and all happiness for a season
But say, “Strive to reap the ripe apple”.
