LIFE IS HELL
We were born to love, to hate, to calculate.
We were born to make war and peace – to meditate.
We were born to win, to lose, to be abused.
We were born to give to take. Make no mistake; life is hell but that’s swell!
We were born to live, to die to feel much pain – of such the great thinkers cannot explain.
From dust we came and dust we shall return, whether by water or by fire we burn.
What is life then, if not just a dream. In it we live like the visit to a stream that evaporates under the heat of the mid-day sun.
Life is love and hate,
It gives and it takes,
It shares. Make no mistake,
It is no bed of roses.
Life is hell but that’s swell.
