(SOLDIERS OR BORN WARRIORS ARE MADE)


Life is…
Is hard like trying to grasp a far star
And it’s hard to catch up to like an accelerating car.

Life is…
Wisdom and age.
Even anger and rage.
It’s something hard to explain.

Life is…
Awkward.
Mixed with masters and cowards.
Money, respect, and power.
Something that we devour

Life is…
War and peace.
Bullets that never cease.
Homeless on the street.
With nothing to eat.

Life is…
Bosses, losses
And advantages.
Full with people both civil and savages,
Divorces and marriages,
Stoned babies in carriages.

Life is…
Full of hate.
Courageous and faith.
It’s something hard to make.
When you living and eating scraps of a plate.

Life is…
Full strategies and destinies.
Surrounded by enemies.
But most of all I think it was god that was just
Testing me.

This poem is about alot of things that I observed in life and knowing that there is a higher power at work in life that could be just testing you the whole time.
