Our Life is Short

OUR LIFE IS SHORT

It seems you forgot:
Our life is short.
There is no time to beg or…
Extort for support.
Learn how to live yourself.
Take a book from the shelf 
And…delicately leafing page after page
You will find a wood sage:
People are like books,
With different outlooks.
Some of them are good,
Some of them are bad,
Some of them are just mad,
Some of them are not sassy,
They look more glassy,
They are not gassy,
They are classy
Like books on the shelf
They can't be read by itself.
They are waiting for a warm hand.
Milliards of people are on the Land,
Each one needs the right hand.
So, open it like a book and read!
If you manage to do it
You’ll succeed to learn a lot.
Remembering that life is short
You’ll learn how to burn the useless things,
About those who trouble brings,
How to leave the one without a gun,
How to live just for fun,
How to live with those you adore,
And… much much more.
