A Pondering

It's a mystery
or so I'm told
sometimes the truth
will never be told
life sucks
and that's a fact
there's nothing
we can do about that
death will come
and that is sure
a near miss
will make you live more
we wade through days
in work snowed under
to busy to live
'til we fall asunder
no time to pause
to look, to savour
the beauty around
this world in favour
we hurry, we scurry
no time to stop
a busy life
we work til we drop
so take some time
away from the strife
enjoy this world
live your life
