Life is Worthless

Quote
Life is worthless
If not to die
So that others may have
What one enjoys and loves.

Life is worthless
If I stay seated
After having seen and dreamt
Of being called from everywhere

Life is worthless
When others kill each other
And I keep on singing
As if nothing was happening.

Life is worthless
If I hear a deadly scream
And it doesn’t reach
my heart, which is fading

Life is worthless
If I ignore that the assassin
Has taken another route
And sets up a new ambush.

Life is worthless
If another brother is taken by surprise
When I knew beforehand
The trap that was being set.

Life is worthless
If four are murdered every minute
And the guilty get to decide
What the final verdict will be

Life is worthless
If I must postpone
another second of being
and die in a bed.

Life is worthless
if in the end, I can't change
all that surrounds me
and that which is mine and supports me.

So, that is why, for me
Life is worthless
