Life's Key

If DEATH is the ultimate destiny
One might sometime wonder
Why bother with birth
Suffer from living
And succumb to death

For LIFE- the Inbetween
It is as hard as it is easy
It is as easy as it is hard
The puzzle called Life
Answer is to find a key

The key to puzzle of life- YOU
The journey of your life
From birth to death
It is as good as you want it
It is as bad as you make it

wow, such an insightful piece...why bother with life if it is just a journey toward death?
good question...but I guess that in-between and what it is like is up to us...make it or break it...

this reminds me of a Three dog Night song..."easy to be hard"

we do suffer from living, but we also experience much joy if we let ourselves...it is up to us.

Very true words. There's more than birth and death. There's knowledge available in between. And the purpose is how well you make that journey and what the knowledge is that you seek. I really enjoyed your write. Thank you.

You answer your own question. If life is as good as you want it and as bad as you make it, your life is to discover what choices you will make. A deep and thoughtful poem.

One person says that the one truth in life is death. So whatever you do in life is choice but death is not, its is your destiney and it will come no matter what you say or do, so enjoy your life as you said. and that was well written, keep on going
