Life is a riddle

It is true that life is indeed a journey

One minute you are breathing 

Another minute you are gasping for your last breath

Life is truly a riddle

A riddle not to be solved by the idle

Some depart too soon

As life is as concave as a mettalic spoon

This life is all but a blur

An illusion to the mind

And a force to reckon with

Let us live it to our level best

Uphold the necessary norms forget the rest

Hate, envy, lust let's get it out of our chest

For as each day elapses we creep close to the grimm reaper

Six feet under we will be layed,  as that is the bitter truth

Folks both young and old

Let us atone for the end time stories foretold

Are so real to be ignored

Life is a race

Everyone has a starting point and a finish line
