The Key to Life

Life is strange
Life is bitter
Living with the knowledge that others suffer
While you are happy
Should make you think
About the way
Life is divided

Living in luxury and wealth
Should make you feel guilty
And wonder
How it comes
That all the good things
Are yours
While others have nothing
To live for

While others should pray
To die
Instead of living the life
That was imposed on them
By people who wanted
The best in life for themselves

Life should be easy
Life should be honest
Towards all the living on this planet
If honesty was the keyword
To guarantee life
Life would be different
For us all
