Life


What is life?

It is the heart beat within a mother,

A breath they take on a winter day, 

And the final breath of an old man 

Who's trying to stay alive for his grand kids.

What is life?

A question for the ones 

Who have lived and seen

The destruction of the world

Throughout history.
