The Laughing Heart
May 12, 2013
By: Charles Bukowski
Your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but it beats the darknes
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances
know them.
take them
you can’t beat death
but you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous the gods wait to delight in you.
