Because Such Is Life Poem by Peter Hall

Because Such Is Life



People with their dogs
People with their cats
Falling off a log
Slipping on a mat.

Smoking cigarettes
Breathing selfishness
Sport heroes largess
Demonic effectiveness.

Misunderstood opinion
Nail in a tyre
Tears from an onion
Smoke from a fire.

Pains in the neck
Patience always tried
Useless getting upset
Because such is life.
