Life\’s a Bitch

Writer: Peter OtaborPeter Otabor


I have seen men work hard and fail

I have seen men persist and still fail

I have seen men believe and be left disappointed with the realities of life

I have seen men hope and end up lost in the depths of despair

I have seen men cry out in this despair with no one to help

I have seen men pray with no answers forthcoming

I have seen men hustle and end up worse than they started

I have seen men dream and get lost in them

I have seen men pursue these dreams and fail beyond understanding

I have seen men with great visions end up without sight

I have seen men speak up for truth and justice end up without speech and life

I have seen men rise to glory and fall to pieces

I have seen men love and end up shells of their former self heartbroken

I have seen men make meaning of their lives and end up without meaning

I have seen men acquire wealth and live in affluence and end up dying 

leaving the world empty handed

I have seen men born with nothing, end up with nothing and die with nothing

I have seen men struggle through life and die with no peace and achievement

I have seen men question life and be left with the silence of the dead and the mystery of the dark

I have seen men lost and remain lost without purpose or any shred of meaning

I have seen men!

Funny… We all have!

But hey Life\’s a bitch

A bitch of sorts.
