THE ROUGH ROAD



THE ROUGH ROAD

Life truly you are a road
You have high degree of roughness
When we move through we get a lot of bends and meanders
But of course we must move and keep the journey spirit alive


Many are the mighty men of valor who faced you with
a lot of courage but fell along the way
Sometimes we worry why we came into the world
But we must continue fighting
Putting in mind that one day the mountains of life
Will flatten to plains and it shall be well

While moving through the journey, sometimes other road users become volcanoes to us but we reconcile with them
Sometimes we get humiliated like Job who suffered to the point of death but still won the battle
As road users we must consider road signs to evade carnages

About this poem

Talking slightly about what life has for us and how it difficult it is to manage it. This came when I left high school and saw what life has for us in reality.
