Life's like a movie



life is like a movie
everyone is an actor
playing a role
every moment is an act
everyday is a scene
last year ended the last series
was it a good one or a bad one
let wait and see next year’s own
most of the characters might still appear
but most will not appear again
dead and gone
new ones are born
given the chance to also play their role
one could still play the same role
they played in the last movie
or perhaps given a new role
behind the scenes
is it going well or not
this is the making of another life movie
