SteemitPoetryContest# A Shadowed Life

Why do we complain so much of life?
Why do we stay still and waste so much time?
"Life is not fair" we cry on the streets till it's dark
But everyone is afraid to play death's card

Why do we cry when we feel so sad?
And yet still cry when filled with much joy
Could it be that life plays us as happy and sad toys?
Then dumps us to rot to dust and sand

I am confused,and thats just me out of millions
If life's lane is so tough,then why not leap to the one "after-life"
Now play me that song of freedom i like
Free from life's torments, never to return.
