They Say Life Is ~ Poem by M. Asim Nehal

They say ~ life is beautiful
And I say it is like the spider's web
Each part of our body demands
And we spread our desires
Sticky like silk for hunting our wishes
and uses large amounts of energy
To catch them, this disguises like a mirage

They say ~ life is wonderful
And I say how I wonder what you are
A soul inside the body
Playing tug of war to win over another

They say ~ Life is worth living
And I say it is so worth living for dyeing
In three stages, painting the world
Then trying to rub it off

They say ~ Life on earth is a test
And I agree with it after forty years
Indeed, it takes us through the narrow tunnel
Of the life passing from the Grave

A needle's eye to take the camel through
Pure like honey, odourless like olive oil
Fresh like ice and innocent as a dove.
