Let Us Poem by Suhad Salih Abubakar

let's love like
We have never been hurt before
Let's dance like
No one is watching
Let's dream like
We are assured of tomorrow
Let's dare like
We have no fear of failure
Let's hope like
We never flawed
Let's endure like
We never suffered any pain
Let's live in the present like
We know our Date of Death
Let's reward ourselves like
We deserve it
Let's make merry like
our life depends on it

But in truth
I have hurt so many times
In reality
I don't know how to dance
And it is a certainty
Tomorrow is not assured
And it is written in time
That failure is an inevitability
And hope is definitely
A lost course
Pain is my drinking cup
And living in the present
Is definitely not the answer
We should award our efforts
Since life is too short
