Life is full of ups and downs.
Life is filled with intrigues of men,
Intrigues that cannot be understood by the knowledge of men,
Abstract in its knowledge,
Difficult in its understanding.
People with diverse mentality,
People with different character,
Its sounds impossible to be totally understood
In the world by any other person except for who you are.

Life waits for the right time to respond to its pulse,
Pulses of hatred and regrets,
Pulses of good times and sober reflection,
Reflections that last for only a while,
Reflections over vain and opaque things.

Life brings the mentality of “If I perish I perish,”
The reasoning of a nonchalant attitude,
An attitude of living ’cause you’re living.
Living is, at times, meaningless,
Meaningless to be thought about.
It all seems like a mirage,
Looking at what one has to overcome in LIFE,
Accomplish a lot in it.
It sounds like the echo of peace alike
Resounding with such valor as to live in it.
Life is a place to learn.
Learning is the only word that remains constant,
Experience follows as a by-product of learning.
