Life Is A Book Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

Life is a book of love,
What chapter are you reading?
A page of cheating or infidelity,
Or a page that tells of a loving prince?
No matter the chapter, you make the difference yourself.


Life is a book of sorrow,
What phase of sorrow are you reading?
A page of lost or a page of suffering?
Take time to pull in the direction life gives,
Everyone has his kobo to spend at the market.


Life is a book of wisdom,
Every king was once a crying baby.
Someone's dream is another's reality,
Walk not blindly to favour others and die in folly.
What chapter of life's wisdom are you reading?


Life is a book of folly,
You pay others who knows with your foolishness.
Look at it and see a costly ornamental building
with no practical purpose to the builders and owner.
What book of folly are you feasting on now?



Life is a book of act of art,
Every art requires an act to reason.
You have to chose from your judgement or
The judgement others give to your human,
What value are you studying now in your book?


Life is a mirror,
Look and see the real you in your kind.
No duplicate from the YOU you see in the mirror,
Let no one tell you who you are rather than you.
What book of life are you reading about you.



Life is you.
What you make out of life is what you are.
Be a lover not a fighter in motionless speech,
Tomorrow we shall all die and take nothing,
What chapter of life are you reading?


Life is a book of lies,
You don't get what you want at all time.
When the milk flow towards east to dine
Life says ' never you go with it' such is life.
What lies are you learning from life?


Life is a book,
The day your chapter is opened
The same day you begins to exist.
The day the reading is over,
The same day your life closes whether good or bad.
Life does not count how many chapters you've read,
It takes action when necessary to fulfil a course.
