The Journey of a Full Circle | By: Korpo M. Selay

LIFE


I. Infancy

Screams & cries are signs of life

Joy accompanies the arrival of a baby

There lies Mama's little angel

A flesh of her flesh

Suddenly, components of the atmosphere are no longer Oxygen or Carbon dioxide, It is 'Peace dioxide’.


II. Childhood

Life is an exciting journey

You are breathing and living

Everything imaginable is achievable

One minute you are Superman

The next you are Snow White

There is no stopping you.

III. Adolescent

Mama becomes an enemy

Dad is a memory

Puberty strikes and like a witch,

It begins casting spells upon you:

Pubic hairs, breasts, and a deepened voice are scars from its whip In this lawless game, puberty is winning.



IV. Adulthood

Superman & Snow White are myths

Politicians, work and alcohol have replaced them

You are now breathing in pain

How did you end up in an arena with life as an opponent? Anxiety, stress and depression are new friends

You are stuck, society has you,

there is no escape.


V. Old Age

Screams & cries are signs of death.

"A beber y a tragar, que el mundo se va an acabar" Your response when asked for tips on how to survive life Dreams are now nightmares

"When I die..." is a way of talking now

"It's your turn", Death whispers

Your epitaph reads:

"Congratulations, you've completed the full cycle. Rest in Pieces."
