A poem I'm working on. Any suggestions/ideas?

Life: a work in progress

Parents drinking, fighting and fucking,
Babies mewling, puking and sucking,
Siblings loving and hating,
Brawling, falling and bawling,
Kids kidding and joking,,
Trolling and baiting,
Yearning, teaching and learning,
Reading and writing; nibbling and biting;
Angling and dangling,
Over the edge,
Warring and fighting,
Soldiers drilling and killing,
People standing and gawking;
Merchants selling and hawking,
Actors dreaming, fretting and strutting,
Doors opening and shutting,
Boxers sparring and feinting,
Sculpting, carving and painting,
Knives scoring and cutting,
Ducking and diving,
Earning and skiving,
Lovers searching and finding,
Heaving, sighing and crying,
Caring and sharing,
Living, laughing and dying.

It is interesting Handsel. I could imagine you in a Bob Dylan type film, holding up placards of the words and singing it all to music Laughing
