Watching the television ,
As the evening is at hand ,
Seeing a musician perform ,
While so suddenly ,
A cloud of thoughts ,
Rush into my head ,
I start to ponder ,
About the lives of different people ,
Comparing and contrasting ,
The similarities and differences ,
The life of a musician's ,
Is so rich in wealth ,
But is all this sufficient ? ,
Money cannot buy happiness ,
But can bring sadness ,
Lacking a private , normal and family life ,
And what of a beggar's life ? ,
If you ask him ,
Little would he want the treasures ,
Treasures of a musician's life ,
And so you ask ,
What does a beggar want ? ,
Only the bare neccessities ,
Food,shelter,clothes,
Would be treasureful to him ,
Keeping to heart ,
What little he possesses ,
A student's life however ,
Lacks responsibility,
But not anxiety ,
In what the future holds ,
So i sit and wonder ,
Why is it that we all suffer ? ,
Such is life ,
And so such is fate ,
But we should be strong ,
Strong in heart and mind ,
Ready to face life's challenges ,
And to overcome them .
Reason for writing:
I wrote this before my exam . I realise that no matter who u are , everyone in this world have problems which are bound by fate . What do u think ?
