Sonnet X – O Life Of Mine

O life of mine thou art a dime;
Used by men to squander time.
O life of mine thou art of waste;
But guaranteed to not sublime.
O life of mine thou art a pill;
Used by men to cure their ill.
Used by men for all their best;
Doesn't matter how you feel.

O life of mine thou art a dime;
Used by men for their gain.
O life of mine thou art red wine;
Used by men to cover pain.
So long as men live happily,
My life is useful as is me.
