Womb or the Tomb

What have I done to deserve this?
Why am I devoid of life’s bliss?
I wanted it, Qudus got it for free.
I’ll just mix and sip from the black tea.

Time is not certain, I agree
But death is sure and free
So why beg for an angel’s kiss
When I can live large within an abyss.

There’s more to life than what we desire
There’s a reason for cold snow and hot fire
The things we do are not always good and bad
Take life well and not get mad.
