Brevity of Life
Life is full of pitfalls
We must be brave
One day they’ll leave us alone.
Where shall we go?
When we sit on the fence
We’ll just be cutting off our own noses to spite our faces
When an oppressive silence hangs over us
When friends and peacemakers wear an expression of terror.
Earth is full of lust
We must be brave.

Well said Mr. Joghe
Words of wisdom I wish to reach as many as possible.
I especially like the repeated " we must be brave"
