Life is Life

A Poem by Alexander143

Trying to be truthful

Life has given me today; the present, in Pandoras box.
I'm laughing myself to death. Life is full of sick jokes.
Sight is vanity. A fig-like pradox.
Constancy is the only difference. It takes alot to be simple enough to think inside the box.

It's easy to pay attention when money talks.
But my money's deaf. It signs and acts while yours onl talks.
It's funny how you seek the keys to happiness and success when your habits are the locks.
The world's in your mind. Whose better; one who falls coz of pride, or one who tries to swallow it and chokes?

Villains complete the parties for the tangle. Everyone's sick. I'm one of the few docs.
Life's hard. Everyone's handicapped. Nobddy can pull up his own socks.
Mais, c'est la vie. What praises you now, soon mocks.
It's the examination of when an African can't.But ultimately, Life is Life folks.

Keep Smiling

The Pandora box will be a nuclear weapon shot by a country with no sense. A 40 mile kill zone. 80 mile slow death zone. Then miles of sick people. Who would shoot a weapon like this. Many today are threatening. Your words are honest and direct. I'm told by most people. War is part of life. Violence and hate is part of us. I traveled this world. I had a smile and a handshake. I never met a man or woman who wanted to died or fight. We live in a world with men who need to learn conversation and friendship. Food and medicine can open doors to friendship. Take away years of hate and fear. Sometime I believe the world leaders are mad. I hope the Pandora box stay closed for the sake of all the children in our world. A excellent poem. Made me think.
