Life and death
HAUWA MUSA IBRAHIM
_Life_And_Death_
Life is not sweet. One day it will be sweet.
Life is not good. One day it will be good.
To close our eyes and die.
Life spring from death.
Life slowly melts into death.
Life is just a story.
A story that has been told and witnessed.
It is bad and it is good.
It is not a permanent lebal.
It has to be leftover.
It is not an easy journey,
But it is indeed beautiful.....
Death bolts like thunder.
The end of chapter.
We’re born to die,
With nothing to answer.
Never be forgotten,
But always be told.
It is the end.
The end to your short life,
And the end of any relationship.
Beginning of eternal life.
The final rest.
Death is your rebirth.
Your second and final beginning.
