life

zalin hoy 2003 (Pennsylvania)

Free verse
Life-zalin hoy

The opaque meaning of life
 Like a shinning blade of a knife
Deep within making my skin divide
Oh, why have they lied
why can’t they be kind
Democracy full of despise
Holding us against their lies
The price you pay for a moment of life
Leads to nothing but the loss of power and fame
My minds not fair it’s like a lair
