The Theatre of Life.

By Yengkhom Lucky Singh

Life — a strange reality, 

beautiful, and cruel. 

It hides behind its many masks, 

concealing truth

from mortal sight. 

Life — A mystery;

too brief for some,

too endless for others. 

To one, a blessing. 

To another, a curse. 

Some call it a journey. 

Others, a race. 

But I —

I call it a journey made up of races. 

Life — a certainty;

for the promised land lies

beneath the intricacy. 

The wise live. 

The foolish merely survive. 

Life — a strange reality, 

beautiful, and cruel.
