Life

Seema Tabassum Maqsood Ali

Narrative
Life is an endless strife
Towards what is right
Life is a troublesome summer
Life is a frosting winter
The cold leads all to hibernate
Into their own myths
Then the heat of summer
The hot sun wakes them up
They turn and twist and soon
Are happy with their mildew and Filth

Life is just a change of seasons and moods
