Oh, life

Oh, life
why must you beat me down
with your self-righteous
fists and bludgeoning
club
...that I am supposing you possess...
and then,
the next minute,
lift me up upon your
shoulders
celebrating my very existence
with loud applause
and hurrahs from every direction?

a little more consistency, please!
