Life or Treason

Life does seem to be in vain when:---------------------------------

Festivities brings despair and grief,
Companionship brings only temporary relief.

When love seems a chore in pain,
Every reason seems an exercise in vain.

When every laugh resembles a luxury,
And joy becomes a reason for perjury.

When motivation is a distant realm,
And frustration hovers at the helm.

When office is more cherishing than god's name,
And loneliness is more rewarding than any price or fame.

When you seem older everyday and couldn’t care less,
And every healing touch and concern seems worthless.

When every act of compassion resembles pitiful charity,
And your daily archaic lifestyle only brings anger and anxiety.

When your daily ambition is aimed at achieving sobriety,
And the moment you emerge seems reality too feisty.

When a dream seems so real you want nothing else,
And when death promises more and life emancipates hell.
