What does Life has to offer? Life which is full of Evil, Life which is full of Horror,No joy from morning till night (sobs) Life where sorrow last longer than joy ,Just as Rabbit bites and caress ,so does human behaves. (sigh) Is there any sacrifice to enjoying life without blemish? Please tell me I will bear it.Is there any drum one can beat to the tune of Life, Please tell me I will buy it order not to face the trauma of Life. Sometimes, I feel like giving up on Life. Some other times I put my head up. only if I could turn back the hands of time maybe I would refuse to come to this world of Terror. Mama Biliki wept ,she moved closer to her mother rubbing her shoulder. Please don't weep mama ,sooner or later everything will be alright (sobs) They hug each other)
