THE LIFE 'UNLIVED'

A short poem on the need to make the best out of one's life

While you live, or think you do so:
You can leave the mysteries unraveled,
Walk away leaving the puzzles unsolved;
Challenges can actually be left 'unsurmounted',
And the good books abandoned unread -
All efforts can be left unmade
Except they are targeted at excuses;
Let the battles go unfought
And allow solutions go unsought
Opt for the easy way out
But then, your life shall have been left 'unlived'.
