(Part 1) Life! <br /> <br />Life is what i breath, speak, walk, created <br />Life gets hard when the air <br />You breathe turns to toxic. <br />The way that you speak <br />Only speak in suffering. <br />The way you walk becomes <br />Hard until you start to crawl. <br />And finally the life you created <br />becomes wasted by a single decision. <br />Life what I tried to conquer and convert <br />Into my lifestyle appeal. <br />But life smacks me in the face <br />When life itself gets easy <br />The struggle to the finish <br />Work like a slave <br />And eat like a king <br />And that's what life taught me <br />To do in a lifetime so far <br /> <br />(Part 2) Death! <br /> <br />Death is what i used to fear <br />But now so many people die <br />On this world it doesn't scare me anymore. <br />Getting shot, chopped, bombed, robbed <br />it ends like the rest...Death! <br />Sometimes the lucky ones die by age <br />not by a disease, a bullet wound <br />A cold, an accident, or not even suicide. <br />I wouldn't care if i died if i lived my life fairly enough <br />young or old, long or short lived, rich or poor <br />we only have one life, one faith, one god and <br />Hopefully for me...One elevator that's only goes up <br />Above the clouds never down under the soil of the earth.<br /><br />Compton Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-and-death-25/
