This Is Life

A Poem by Tracey Newson

It's about Politics, sad conflicts

living in a world you just can't fix

Holding on or letting go

finding peace in your soul

It's about being low, getting high

In betweens and don't know why's

Finding faith or losing ground

How to live in the now

It's about cashing in or checking out

Knowing when to shut your mouth

Children playing, people praying

Saving earth from decaying

It's about being nice, being kind

Knowing when to say whats on your mind

Getting rich or going broke

Trying to breath when you want to choke

It's about Moonlit nights, sunny days

The sometimes gray along the way

Talking trash or speaking truth

Staying connected to your roots

It's about you and me, them and us

Knowing who to blame or who to trust

World Emancipation, communication

Atheism and New religions

It's about being free, knowing love

Having Faith in a God above

Staying warm or being cold

And having someone to grow old with....
