The Resilience of Life

Running, Breathing,

Smoking, Joking,

Drinking, Eating,

Fighting, Crying.

Life is always in action.

No, We will not stop. 

Repressing, Constraining,

Caging, Strapping,

Tying, Forcing,

Prying, Beating. 

Adversity does not faze the spirit.

No, We will not stop.

Screaming, Punching, 

Kicking, Yelling,

Shouting, Exclaiming,

Retalliating, Standing.

Man, woman, nor child yield to stagnation.

No, We will not stop.

Loving, Caring,

Sharing, Mending,

Healing, Believing,

Striving, Thriving.

Pain can only hurt us so much.

No, We will not stop.

Seizing, Bleeding,

Shaking, Bruising,

Breaking, Depressing,

Holding, Dying.

Death is a spectator but he does not get the last laugh.

No, We will not stop.

Rejoicing, Laughing,

Hugging, Kissing,

Praising, Embracing,

Overcoming, Living.

Life entails all that is beautiful.

No, We will not stop.
