Radhika Gupta - Life

If life was a spider,
Would you kill it?
If life was a river
would you polute it?
If life was a shiver,
Would you warm it?
If life was a baby,
Would you take care of it?
If life was a child,
Would you hurt it?
If life was a tiger in the wild,
Would you poach it?
If life was a beggar,
Would you be nice?
If life was cake,
Would you take a slice?
If life was a jewel,
Would you pay the price?
If life was a risk,
Would you take it?
If life was a chance,
Would you take it twice?
If life was water,
Would you give?
If life was paper,
Would you make your mark?
If life was a light,
Would you leave put it in the dark?
If life was frightening,
Would you be scared?
But life is just not life,
It is a whole load of other things too
