This Is Life

This Is Life

A Poem by Travie
"

This is a poem inspired by a song.

"
I'm sitting here alone, 
And I'm begging you please, 
Don't make me work my life away, 
For my time here is so short.

Every speeding little second, 
Turns into a ticking clock, 
That slowly starts winding down, 
Until you are underground.

I will eventually be just a lost soul, 
Trying slowly just to navigate a new life, 
A existence better than the last, 
Only to have my hopes broken like before.

I have my hopes and dreams, 
And you can't take them from me, 
For I am a citizen of this world, 
As it is my beautiful life to live.

All are universal citizens and all living and non living things are integral components of this universe, moon, waves of ocean, breeze all are part of the loop, man being depicted as most precious in the pyramid it is a shame dreams and hopes have to be sacrificed, all ha equal rights to be in the loop of dreams and aspirations, woody Guthri with so many challenges of his own wrote world is for all, very thought provoking poem, job well done with excellent message in it.

I agree.
"I have my hopes and dreams,
And you can't take them from me,
For I am a citizen of this world,
As it is my beautiful life to live."
We must hold on to our hope and dreams. Can't allow the world to change our direction. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Brutally honest, and somewhat heartbreaking.
Well, it depends on how you look at it.
Lot of s**t in this world wants to take that life away from you,
And death isn't even the worst option out there.

I appreciate your writing mate, I liked the poem.
Thanks.
