Life Is Beautiful



Life is beautiful,
Live it to the fullest.
Life is beautiful,
Enjoy it till you can.
Life is beautiful,
Make it beautiful for others.

Well I know life is beautiful,
I had my flock with me,
Green pastures and cozy enclosure,
Now when I am hanging upside down,
Staring at the big bulging abdomen,
I say to myself,
Is life beautiful?

Blood is rushing in my head,
And they are saying,
Life is beautiful.
I am waiting with baited breath,
They circle me inspecting,
I think indeed life is beautiful,
Oh My! Yes life is beautiful,
They are going to cut the rope and set me free,

I promise myself to thank almighty,
When I am back,
In my pasture with my parents.

Oh! They are calling me,
Come home baby it is dusk,
Come home before it is dark,
Oh mama you are there for me,
Life  indeed is beautiful.

Then he came,
With that shiny thing and now I know,
I am staring at my death,
I call out to them,
What wrong have I done?
They all laugh,
As if they understand what I say.
For them it is mere bleating.

Stop Oh stop do not say again,
Life is beautiful.

Then a voice from somewhere calls me and says,
Life indeed is beautiful,
Have you forgotten the green pastures?
The independence,
The love of parents,
The luxury of being alive,
It is death you are finding painful.

Death and life are nothing but illusions,
We either enjoy or suffer,
As we perceive,
So do not fear, be bold.

When they slit your throat,
Say today it is your day,
I will have mine.

All you men answer truthfully,
Can you face your death as bravely as me?
No, I know you can’t,
Because you are human and I am sheep.
