Our companion Life

Count your blessing
For life comes at you like a raging army
it takes you by the neck and dangles you off a cliff
it brakes into your house and kills your family
it drves drunk and kills your friends
its has no respect for you or your dignity
Its and enemy you cant win against
its a mountain we can never climb
a trap we can never escape
Life is our enemy
and also our twin
our brother
our alter ego
our deathly shadow
Lifes a soldier
a torturer
a theif
a jester
a judge
Our Jailer.
