What Could Have Been

Life that’s not worth death is no life!
What could be worst?
Thirst should not kill one; no not thirst.
Maybe a wife.

Wail dear friends when its time to wail!
We should not smile.
Nile; cry until your tears fill Nile.
Face life’s travail.

Rules are to keep us down. Shun rules.
Don’t you dare stop.
Drop not for no one; don’t you drop!
And die as fools.

What could have been of our lives, what?
Without God’s grace.
Face your fears! Fight them face to face.
Stand tall, Don’t squat!
