Life, Why Poem by Falana Zion

Life, why
Why do we live to die
Why do you call death alongside
When we always ask for life

Life, why
I grab my pen to write
Millions of words trigger my mind
Why don't you give me the words that'll fulfill my heart

Life, why
Are you cruel or it is your plan
To always swallow our hearts with thoughts
Please, listen to our pleas
And give us our desires

We sought for a peaceful world
You gave a mixed one
Don't you have a peaceful one in your court?
But you left us and our world with thoughts

We wished to tread only the narrow path
That leads to that home above the sky
The road to the field of stars
But you gave us the broad road to destruction alongside
Don't we sought only after life?

Above all, Life
I know you have a million balls in your court
You're not a problem to be solved
But a reality to experience
We'll live you well
To enjoy our ride to that home above the sky
