The Rivers of life

Ashley Dabeepersadh 1987 (South Africa)

Perpetual rain, like a never-ending game.
Crimson is the colour, red all the same.
Splattering heavily over the already soaked remains...

Resembling little honey drops, but rain drops of pain, filling our rivers, and deep into our Veins...

Unique in its matter and strong is its force looping and chaining, all in its Course...

So, the river of life is the ultimate test, because for this strange river it takes nothing but your best...

Remembering always when the tide's start to slow, that without any warning or mention of go, the river of life again changes its flow, bending and breaking and taking all in its tow...
