To Me, This Life Looks Like ~ Poem by M. Asim Nehal
To Me, This Life Looks Like ~
They say ~ life is beautiful
And I say it disguises like a mirage
No less than a spider's web
It spreads desires of our body
And demands catch all the time
It's sticky like silk is a hunting tool for the wishes.
They say ~ life is wonderful
And I say how I wonder what it is
A soul inside the body playing tug of war
Both are competing for a win-win situation.
They say ~ Life is worth living
And I say it inches towards death dancing all the way
In three stages, painting the world
Then trying to rub it off.
They say ~ Life on earth is a test
And I agree to it with no other purpose seen around
Indeed, it takes us through the narrow tunnel
Transition to another life through the death
To me, this life looks like ~
Passing of a camel through the needle's eye
Pure like honey, odorless like olive oil,
Fresh like ice and innocent as a dove.
Life is worth living and enjoying. I believe in lively life.
They say ~ life is wonderful And I say how I wonder what it is A soul inside the body playing tug of war Both are competing for a win-win situation.
Pure like honey, odorless like olive oil, Fresh like ice and innocent as a dove. See poetry and life depend on who said what I always say forget soul be sole make a pirposeless life whole dig not for it holes
