When breath becomes air

We all have a poignant purposeful life

By Karun Published about a year ago 1 min read

When strength walks away

unretrievable and far

the mind keeps lacking that sway

everything is in chaos and war

A soul bleeds from scar

When breath becomes air

life becomes a share

struggle becomes fair

and survival becomes a fear

though things seem near

nothing seems to care

We all have a poignant purposeful life

for which we all strive

it is a dive

in a waterless pool

If at all there was a rule

maybe that was just a tool

to make us all a fool

We need love, in the last few minutes

not money
