Analysis of Survival

William brooks 1959 (Salem)



We live each day as it passes on by. With feelings of joy but reasons to cry. Coping with life as a way to get along. Survival is a must and only for the strong. The pits and falls which we must overcome. Hatred and lust which keeps us on the run. Lost in a turmoil that seeks us everyday. Trying to search for there's a better way. Dealing in a life with its ups and downs. Searching and seeking and not being found. Hoping that something is about to change. Knowing that it all is unseemly strange. Life in itself is what it is all about. Staying on the inside not being left out. Let's get ourselves together and try to make a way. To make it easier to live a better day.
