Life of yesterday we smiled, dined and wined while today we cannot curtail our fight
Was it a thin line that changed the whole scenario?
As the weather changes so does life change in a speed of a flight
Row by row, before living this world, we all are bound to play our role.

From the legendary days of our fathers
Life was said to be brutish, nasty and short
In the civilized age of our brothers
Same life is still brutish, nasty and short

At childhood, we grew dancing together, holding our hands and playing with sand
A sweet memorable life pleasing to share
Today’s politics, wealth and power has turned the voice of an old friend to a hellish sound
What a life where enemies in friends skin now together sip wine with a fake happy cheer

From the legendary days of our fathers
Life was said to be brutish, nasty and short
In the civilized age of our brothers
Same life is still brutish, nasty and short

Today is crystal clear but what life holds for us tomorrow we know not yet
Life and death are like two opposite twins but one of them we faithfully hold unto
Today! Heaven or hell might knock via death while we depart with the last meal we ate
Exiting the bitterly sweet life with no one to relate whereto.

From the legendary days of our fathers
Life was said to be brutish, nasty and short
In the civilized age of our brothers
Same life is still brutish, nasty and short

With my poetic pen, I do not know what else to say about life
All I now know is that life like a coin with different sides is life
Good, bad or ugly, we are all bound to live our life
Just like a destiny, life could be painfully sweet and sweetly sad while in all it remain Oh life! What a life!

From the legendary days of our fathers
Life was said to be brutish, nasty and short
In the civilized age of our brothers
Same life is still brutish, nasty and short
