CONTRASTS OF LIFE
Life by itself is so precious and beautiful
That we, despite problems, cannot enjoy it enough,
But life is for people also so dutiful,
That it can be sometimes cruel and very tough.
Life very often is so full of surprises,
Some of them happen to be pleasant and nice,
But I understand that life is not only romantic sunrises,
It brings us often troubles, darkness and vice.
Life is so abundant with love and fairness,
All we should do is to open the hearts.
But life can sometimes bring us wars and darkness,
And turn common people into vicious nuts.
Life is always like two sides of the coin,
One is the shady one, and one that is bright,
It is the good one we all want to join,
It is our wisdom that helps us to distinguish
The wrong side of life from the right.
