Life Gets Ugly

Life Gets Ugly

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)
"

Lyrics I wrote for a power ballad

"

 

Born into this world

With a father burnt out

And a mother wasting away.

Life was over

Before her first birthday

Till the state stepped in

As a saving grace.

The strange lady sang

As she took her away.

 

 

Life is a blessing

Interrupted by curses.

It may be ugly now

But that’s what brings

The beauty out.

 

Such a charming couple

Full of love, unable to conceive.

Praying every night

For a child in their lives.

Bliss burned in their eyes

When the call came

That a miracle had arrived.

The angel lady sang

Before handing the girl away.

 

Life is a blessing

Interrupted by curses.

It may be ugly now

But that’s what brings

The beauty out.

 

Years went buy

Happiness remained.

A complete family

Like she was their own,

they were all she’d known.

 

The headlines read

“Blaze leaves family in dire straights”

Reporters on the scene

As the community arrives

To rebuild their dream

The news anchor begins to sing

A song she mysteriously

Knows by heart.

 

Life is a blessing

Interrupted by curses.

It may be ugly now

But that’s what brings

The beauty out.

It's like saying everything happens for a reason. No "life" is an accident. There is a purpose for what isn't perfect. Maybe we need some darkness in our lives to appreciate the light that surrounds us? Without it...the selfish humans that we are...we might possible take all our blessings for granted.

"Life is a blessing
Interrupted by curses.
It may be ugly now
But that’s what brings
The beauty out."
What wisdom that is, and how inspirational. These are all really well-crafted stanzas, verses, whatever. I like me some lyrics that are actually meaningful! :)

I like this piece. Life is a blessing interrupted by curses. That is a very positive way to look at how life rolls sometimes.

This is so so true...may be ugly now but just wait till the ugly subsides and see what beauty it leaves

Very poignant. Repetition works well for the lyrics.

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
