LIFE IS AN ONION:



Life is an onion,
Transparent, as the human mind,
Skin, as brown & dry as the old man´s life,
Flesh, as smoothe as new born babe´behind.

Life is an onion,
To reach the core one must shed many tears,
Tears as milky as an old maid´s eye,
To make the first cut, one must overcome many fears.

Life is an onion,
To bite raw, burns as first love always does,
To over-cook, like life, turns flabby & white,
Everyone in life takes a nibble, because,
Life is an onion.
