What Is Life?
Cristino Anasco 1961 (Manila)
What is life?
A question I often ask myself
Knowing what I missed
Not experiencing fulfillment
What is Life?
Again ponder
When things that makes me happy
Is just an illusion happening only in my dreams
But in reality life is like a play on a stage
Full of longings, wishing and hoping
for things to happen but it never will
