Analysis of Life Is Good
Be insightful and understood
Life is a quotient ring
Often unfair but always good
A breath is everything
Be receptive and understood
Life is a short affair
Often undue but always good
A breath is vital care
Be distinctive and understood
Life is a solo round
Often unjust but always good
A breath is basic sound
Be wonderful and understood
Life is a theme ballet
Often unfair but always good
A breath is now-today
Be bighearted and understood
Life is a joint event
Often undue but always good
A breath is only lent
Be courteous and understood
Life is a fragile thing
Often unjust but always good
A breath is on a wing
