What is life
Life is a journey
which has neither start nor end
with straight, long and vertical roads
which do not seem to bend.
Life is a book
with pages written by your deeds
the author writes as he/she wishes
irrespective of our cares and needs.
Life is a maze
which has no way outside
We're stuck between it's paths
some narrow ; some wide.
Life is a tree
it's branches can be strong or week
it depends upon us
which kinds of fruits we seek.
Life is a night
and good deeds are stars that are bright
they give us patience to be silent
and courage enough to fight.
Life is a hunt
a hunt for money and peace
and also power and position
because that is what everyone needs.
Life is a race
where every person wants to come first
no one can stop them
from quenching their bloody thirst.
Life is a mountain
with a valley and peak
The valley is beautiful; peak is steep
the height of which is not for the weak.
Life is a song
some lyrics are fast, some are slow.
some parts are sang sweetly
so that they create a flow.
Life is all about ups and downs
every moment is not fine.
Be determined and work hard
and it'll be your turn to shine.
