What Is Life? Poem by Michael Adeosun

Life is the most important, yet most insignificant
Life is priceless, yet worthless
Life is a tangible phantom
Life is quite remote, yet quite adjoining to death
Sundered by the thinnest of lines
Separated by a fraction of a second
Life is like the sun
Life can be so bright, yet so scorching
The sun can set earlier than expected
It is night when you think it is noon

For mortal man, make an indelible footprint
on the sand on time.
For the overpowering tides of time might
soon sweep you away.
Life is a beach, a bitch!
