Life expectancy


Expectation – deceit upon the door.
Life expectancy – one never knows for certain,
but there it is once more – catastrophe lurking.
Hopeful in my stance,
but future is uncertain
even though the writings previously
have been well and truly explored.

How is one to define a life on Earth
this special earthling’s play ground
when everywhere lurks disaster?
Who has, on this zone, been careless, incompetent
without any presence of the divinity of life –
healthy and clean fresh waters and air?

Mention the value of a life
and who can price that object – a human being.

Such wondrous examples
of a life time’s perfection,
but by whom and for what?

The mystery of life – breath
upon the inhalation of clean vital necessity –
that of divinely placed fresh air.
