Life Poem by Siraj Abdulazeez Sabuke

Life is meant to be lived
And not to be carried
Like some burdensome load.

Where would you carry life to?
You either live it
Or it leave you in eternal regrets.

Live, don't just exist
Living is meant to be
A lively phenomenon

Otherwise, the good Lord
Could simply've created us
As stones. Motionless, mood less and stagnant.

Can't you see that even trees
As rooted to one spot as they are
Try to live occasionally?
They dance to the forceful music of the wind;

They add their melody.
Life is fun and must be lived that way.
Especially for the young,
One is young but once.

Siraj A Sabuke.
