Life is short.
November 11, 2015 at 8:06 pm
In a dark night, my head thought
How they live, die, then in dust they rot
Life is indeed short, and the line is hot
hot as a waiting list, so crowded, and cheating it is answered with not.

======

I'm next, I know it would come
I looked behind tried to run
But met with obstacles, impossible to overcome
From my closet came skeletons, with a wondering "hum"..
"Where are you going ? to a tomb with no sun"
"To sleep in darkness, where there's no fun"

======

Life is short, to the tomb it leads
Where there is no light, rain, seasons, or seeds
In a dark grave, plants don't breed
Neither humans, animals, so silent, nobody speaks
In fear I shake, to my spine, shivers would reach
A loop of sorrow, agony, massacres and greed
=======

If flowers blossomed forever I would be pleased
Enjoying sunny rays knowing they won't be ceased 
Happier would I be if missiles never were built to be unleashed
Promise of warfare and suffering haunts making me unpleased 
Just imagining..Life is actually an agony in the eyes of those who can read.

Nice poem
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Nice poem, best I could come up with is:

Life is short: Have more sex, drink more coffee, eat more curries and ice cream.

Atlas, very nice!
See how wonderful and inspiring the real world can be.

I'm still waiting for God to whisper sweet nothings in my ear.
(Maybe I should've rephrased that better)
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Minimalist

Your thoughts did reach me, they are received
Minimalist, appreciation for giving it enough time to read

Lemonvariable72

Nice, is a word full of meanings
a thank you Lemonvariable72, to accompany you while you're leaving

[b]Evie

Fun is indeed a handy way
To forget the sorrow, Evie, as some might say

ignoramus

...You can rest assure that I'm not hearing voices, ignoramus. I just fell in love with English poetry since I read "the black arrow" as a child, being an Arab made the case worse since our culture is dominated by poetry. 

===========
Lemonvariable72, Hmmm?, paulpablo and robvalue
Your kudos honor me, for each of you I thank & value.
