"REALITY OF BREATHING" BY AJAKAYE STRIDA

New life... 

New year is banging again, 

living and dying. 

Even if the traders, Vanessa's refuse to see, 

pen knows, books know,

we feed the grave as we live. 

Someone speak to me? 

Are my hairs getting white?

The poet persona explains the reality of living alive on earth. The speaker says that man's life gets shorter with the more he enjoys being alive.
