Life Red Exit Sign Poem by Sherif Monem

The days of life are short
They run mundane and slow
down this long water stream
The days pass with regularity
as the wheel of time turns
Month after month are gone
Years rush after one another
The stages of life roll by
through amazing succession
So gradually, so smoothly
You do not feel the transition
Some people their life are hard
Full of strife and struggle
Darkened life shaded with sadness
Some people are more fortunate
their days are happy and joyful
Like fanciful long musical song
Our life does not remain the same
There are many happy moments
There are other sad moments
They mingle together in wild tunes
It looks the journey has been long
Now it looks as it is almost over
The large exit sign looms nearer
The flickers seen in the horizon
It flashes red at day and at night
As the exit sign gets closer
Things are about soon to change
You never know very precisely
when life is actually over
Farewell to all dear friends
and specially very loved ones
Farewell to this mystery world
