LIFE

What is Life?

It is the time

when man can take

the world's strife

and struggles

and call them "Mine"

and solve them,

or act indifferent

and die within

himself.



This was written decades ago, and understandably is fairly simplistic (I won't bother saying how old I was at the time!), but still rings true.

This is part of my collection titled Poetry Unassigned, which is looking for a publisher.
