Life

Akioya Zara 2009 (Port Harcourt)

Free verse
Life is easy,
Life is hard,
Life is friendly,
Life is mean.

Life is fair,
Life is unjust,
Life is sweet,
Life is bitter.

Life is good,
Life is bad,
Life is colourful,
Life is dull.

Life is comprehensible,
Life is complicated,
Life is your best dream,
Life is your worst nightmare.

Life is sensible,
Life makes no sense,
Life is thrilling,
Life is boring.

Life is all you ever wanted,
Life is what you never needed,
Life is crystal clear,
Life is a mystery.

Life is humourous,
Life is unamusing,
Life is respectable,
Life has no respect.

Life has sure events to come,
Life is uncertain,
Life is ironic,
Life is straight to the point.

Life can be happy,
Life can be sad,
Life can be all these and more,
But the truth is, life is what you make it.
