Analysis of Life
© 2014 Roland Ediare 2705-12621185
Life! like a chiseled plaque
Designed to meet a purpose
Shaved wood, pain borne
Hanging in, like for dear life
No pain, no gain the man cries
Imperfection wears perfection
Gradually carved to shape
Dusk comes, the day is gone
Life! like in the potter's wheel
Knifed through, unbearable
Deformed being reformed
Clear focus, assails for the goal
Hard-worked, like in the boot camp
Almost giving up, too tough to bear
Long-run, human puts on divinity
Reformed till transformation becomes
Dusk is gone, and Night befalls
