inspired by this poem.. speak very much of the life most of us is leading now... why not lead a life that is fine... and stop whinning about bits and pieces of life... life is ironic.. doesn't it??
Life Is Fine by Langston Hughes
I went down to the river,I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,So I jumped in and sank.
I came up once and hollered!I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so coldI might've sunk and died.
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!
I took the elevator Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.
I stood there and I hollered!I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.
But it was High up there! It was high!
So since I'm still here livin',I guess I will live on.
I could've died for love--But for livin' I was born
Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry--
I'll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.
Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!
