LIFE



Such as an excruciating abode it is
It is a pity, we are in this grievous place
Life inflict in our life agony
Pain,disappointment is what we encounter

Life, where dauntless being succumb
And coward being are invisible
A place where evil being
Enjoy living there

And generous fellow
Face myriad of ordeals
I wonder what you take life for
An efficacious abode it is

Nothing but calamity and catastrophe
A place where barred habit
Are put in to practice
Nothing but calamity

Permissible habit and custom
Are neglected and abused
Life where bad custom
Are tag barbaric and archaic

Kind being are abused
Indeed! They are tormented
Such an excruciating and grievous
Abode we are!
