Irony Of Life Poem by Stanley Oguh

Irony Of Life



I look at the entirety and the complexitity of life and I begin to think
I begin to imagine to a point where my thought became my ink
Looking at what people have to go through
Just to get to see life in a perfect view

I look at peoples life and I begin to wonder
If being created is a mere coincidence or just a blunder
Why people have to suffer so much
In extreme pain and unbearable misery in such
That even when they cry out in pain
Everyone think they are going insane

I look at people binded by their unfailing faith
trying to find the balance between nature and fate
Why some people are born in a rich home
While others have no option than to roam
About just to find answers to lifes questions
That are way beyond human comprehension

I look at options which people have to choose from
Dancing to what ever beat that comes out from lifes drum
Irrespective of how strenuous and difficult it is
Just to have their whole life in one piece

I look at people and I see the real meaning of endurance
To the hardship stages of life not worthy of remembrance
The difference it makes to give and receive
And the impurity in lies and to deceive

I look at people and I see what it takes to be a survivor
The gut it takes to be a striver
I see what it means to go through hell
And I feel just what they feel that they just can't tell

I look at the poor and I look at the rich
The differences between them that which
The rich makes plan for tomorrow
While the poor are left drowning in sorrow

I look at all the ironies of life surrounding our existence
And I begin to wonder human means of subsistence
In this crazy dark world of pain
with clouds of mysterious dark rain

I look at the heavens and pray for hope
That will not just help us to cope
With the pain misery of life
But will help save and give us a chance of a whole new life
