A Season

Bursting out in laughter
Under the round ball of the sky, 
Desiring, though in abundance. 
Under the same sky,
Content, demanding nothing, others lie. 
Both not sure where they are heading. 
Different ways ahead,
Long or short, dark or bright, 
And in the end nothing avails.
Dark gets darker, and off goes the light. 
No need for muscles, nor for mind,
Nor for jewels and treasured mines.
Why dare look down?
Why need beg the crown?
 It is a season that lasts for a while;
And a lasting time awaiting all.

We all live on the same planet, breathing the same air, walking under the same sky...
Some might be content with what they have, though it might weigh nothing, while others might be nagging and rushing for more earthly materials, though they can have everything!
But 'nothing' and 'everything' are viewed differently by people because they have different views of life and perspectives of what the world is. People live in big lies a lot of time! But at the end if we think about it for a minute, what is it that worth begging others or being greedy? We need a lot of people to ask themselves why they treat others like slaves and make them beg simply to stay alive sometimes. We need to understand that this world is going to an end that we are never going to decide, and that's why instead of living in a rush just searching for more earthly materials and treating others like they are nobody, we need to change. We need to know that nothing will go with us when life is over, we won't have houses with labels on them- 'rich' , 'poor'...
Life is just a season that will come to an end, and what really matters is after that. So, let's treat each other equally because we were born equal and we will die equal.
Enjoy what you have, enjoy all moments you pass through because we don't go back in time. Let's love life for what it is and for what it gives because it is a trip or a journey that we should take care of.

The way you see things in life is a matter of perspective. Some people may be happy and grateful with the little they have, while others take things for granted. If we come to analyze each day by day we would find that the happy moments are very rare, and that pain and suffer occupy the biggest place in our lives. There is a fine line between pleasure and pain, which means that your joy is your sorrow unmasked. We are here to experience both happiness and pain; yet it is our choice to look for hope and see the bright side of life.

You've always been a creative girl. Writing Poems is a great idea for expressing ones feelings and thought silently, touching the hearts and minds of others.
