That's Life Poem by RIC BASTASA

her only baby
dies, that's life

a man on top of his
promising singing stint
has cancer o the throat,
that's life my dear

the shallow talker
lazy bone but boss sucker
goes up in the office ladder
that too is life

an outstanding teacher
low paid cannot send his
kids to college
that's life

a carpenter without a house
a pedophile priest
a corrupt politician forming
his own dynasty
that's life

a poet without a book
a sick doctor
a nurse dying in her room
these too is what
life is all about
