Life
"Breathe in, Breathe out"
A continuous exercise till you can't
It's something so precious till it's lost
the question is 'how are you using yours?'

Life, a definition of what makes us alive;
pushing every being to keep up and strive
Life, a definition of what gives us hope;
Persevering and enduring to protect our own.

Life is like a moving bus
that picks up people at bus stops;
they may never know the origin of the bus.
Likewise the ones that drop off
they'd never know the direction of the bus
details known only to the 'driver' for sure

Again! How closer are we till its end?
how farther are we from its end?
who can fathom it or who can answer it?
who knows its mystery, who is knowledgeable?

We go through life fixing schedules and dates
Speaking assuring and affirmative words
'I will visit the mall in the tomorrow evening'
baby, you might not make it by morning
You think you're worthy but you're nothing
just Grace, yes Grace! winning

So what really is this life?
What do we hope for?
what do we want?
An endless toil
Eventually, everything dies!
