Illusive Life Poem by Jessie Clarete Bernabe Cadsawan

Illusive Life



Justice delayed is justice denied
Fact and general truth of law life
Money begets money it is true so that
Poor gets poorer and rich go richer.

Why garbage gathers dirt and germs
And rotten gets bad unlikely smell
But why the indigent’s health not affected
And the rich get sick as they see and smell it.

Beauty and talent when merge together
A prominence, opulence to the beholder
The less fortunate were left behind
Then why yet they were granted
Combined to the lucky wealthy ones?

In life together for a man and a woman
The honest and faithful were betrayed ones
The ungraceful and the clumsy some
Were the winners the triumphant?

The secret of life and how it moves is unseen
No one can tell or guess for a clear viewing
Uncertain we can’t choose what life can bring
Indefinite about how or where life is going.
