How cruel is Life

[KurtNYC]

How cruel is Life that compels us
to get so attached to people who are mortal.

How cruel is Time that takes away our youth
and replaces it with decay.

How cruel is knowledge that lets us know
what we should have done
so long after we should have done it.

How precious is a moment
where we can live
without having the present stolen by the future.

3. thanks -- btw your handle reminds me of the saying "The hardest part

of playing the Blues is having the Blues."

5. Very true.

I've known/played with a lot of "technically" great musicians who never mastered the blues, yet I've also known guys who only knew three chords that could send chills down your spine. The difference in almost all cases was who "had" the blues.

Be sure to share more of your poetry.:thumbsup:
