What is life

 What is life
Or the meaning of it all!
I eat and I pray
Today I see the sky
And tomorrow I will see it again.
One of my friends rejoice
For tomorrow he marries
Whilst another 
Is in deep mourning. 
O Sun you burning flame of gas
Is Jupiter the works of your hand?
French fries are better with salt
Open to hear the song bird sing 
A dirge or a bliss but will I be in tune?
Love is kind, when it ends
Death kisses the hand of him 
Whom fate has destined to fall by the flame
Or natural, of which old age has claimed.
What is life and what are we living for?
Collectively it does not exist 
Because individually we must close our eyes.
Fools, there is a God whom we have all ignored
And smitten us with his gentle bow
For we fail to bow the knee.
I know if this is all I know,
Jesus is King and to this King I sow
All of my threads, weaved in sin I wish I did not know
But the drink takes me to places 
That makes me not sow.
