Life Is A Lie Poem by Okoronkwo Jonathan Jackson

Life Is A Lie.
Life is a lie
Which no truth can buy;
A fallacy
Which contradicts the logics of prophecy.

Life is a lie
Whose beauty lives in shadowless efficacy; A fallacy
Beyond reason and like puff of wind, fades and dies.

Life is a lie
Wrought in absurdous activity…
We live our best to try
And when so close, all becomes lost to vanity.

Life is a lie
Full of wonderful promises so empty…
Cast forth into the universe, through the struggles we ply
All to death still becomes the hope of eternity.

Our consolation to this hope
When through the gate way we pry,
The doors of perception shall to us be thrown agape
And reality we shall see… The agonies of my cry.

A lie told through the ages of history
For all generation to be an untold story.
The die is cast the say… but when the cast becomes to die,
Water like a river then run through the eye.

What indeed a lie live to hear-
When in this perilous world we fight through the turmoil
And when through the struggle we arrive upon earth's soil
All becomes lavished to the tears we bear…
The panic of death so hard then in our heart boil
And suddenly we realize that life is a lie for which we live in fear
