Realities Of Life

By John Tamakloe

**The Realities  Of Life**

 

The Realities  Of Life
Are  beginning to dawn
On the ignorant 
And the Careless, Yet 
Will they learn Anything?

 

The Realities  Of Life,
How short And temporal 
Our stay here Is
Hitting Us hard 
In  the face, but
Are we learning Anything?

 

The Realities Of Life
Which can not deny or 
Take away Death, is now the 
Subject of Discussion! 
But, are We learning Anything?

 

The Realities Of Life
Makes nonsense of 
Hatred, Envy and Jealousy
Here we are today 
Gone tomorrow!  So why? 
Are we learning anything?

 

The Realities of life, 
Makes Nonsense 
The beating of the Chest, 
The bragging And boasting 
As if, we have Come to Stay 
Are we truly learning Anything?

 

The Realities Of life 
Will soon catch Up 
With Us, individually We are
In  A queue, today it
Is X Tomorrow it will Be You. 
Have You  learnt Anything?

 

The Realities Of life
Are  Mysteries,  
Who knows the When, 
The where and the How! 
But Death Is both an Appointment 
And A Messenger It will definitely
Find  You!  So , Be prepared.

 

The Realities Of life 
Are  like Thieves 
They come Unannounced 
So be wise, Desist from 
Envy, hate, jealousy 
Seek peace with All 
Learn something from What 
Has happened!

 

A **Word** to the Wise Is  Enough 
A **Phrase** to a Fool Is Meaningless.
