LIFE'S PLEASURES ARE SHORT LIVED

#FoundPoetry

...by Hamza Ibrahim Baba
(As found by Poetic Tee "Here, take a sip")

The pleasures of life are short lived
more often than not
they are followed by sorrow.

Life means responsibility
a journey where change is constant
difficulties are relentless in onslaught.

Can you find a father
a wife or a friend who is free
from problems?

Allah has willed for this world
to be filled with pairs of opposites:
good and evil, righteousness and corruption, happiness and misery.

So my people live according to your reality
without envisioning the ideal life
one that is free from worry and toil.

I greet my people
as we accept life as it is
and as we adapt accordingly to all circumstances.
