an ant crawls across the counter top <br />What is life? <br /> when we can take our finger and squash it <br /> <br /> a spider weaves its web in a corner <br />What is life? <br /> when we despise it <br /> <br /> i look in the mirror and gaze at the cyst on my nose <br />What is life? <br /> when we cannot control it <br /> <br /> we hunger and thirst and hunger and thirst again. <br />What is life? <br /> when we know it’s never enough <br /> <br /> i love you in your saying yes <br />What is life? <br /> when i know you even less <br /> <br /> with a guardian angel <br />What is life? <br /> when a baby forgotten dies from heat <br /> <br /> He loves us so much He sacrificed His only Son for us. <br />What is life? <br /> when even a God abuses His son <br /> <br /> Don’t tell me I need to believe <br />What is life? <br /> when life needs to be believed <br /> <br /> <br /> - October 8,2007<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-is-life-26/
