Life is a gift
I don't know why life is made so complicated.
Nor why Mankind messes it up so much.
Life can be so beautiful.
Yet people so mean and ugly.
I don't know why people kill each other.
Nor why violence is like a sport.
Life is so precious.
Yet people waste it needlessly.
I don't know why war is called an art.
Nor why weapons are so popular.
Life should be sacred.
Yet people kill and maim each other.
I don't know why bad guys are looked up to.
Nor why films can be so violent.
Life can be so peaceful.
Yet some people find peace boring.
I don't know why people aren't more grateful.
Nor why people look away.
Life is a gift.
Yet people abuse it bluntly.
Not only their very own,
but that of others and of Nature too.
Life is a gift.
It deserves to be cherished.
