RELEVANCE

We are given life, and pain, inventing hope,
Thus love to help all us folk to cope.
There is no Spring not beautified by Fall,
Not one thing without an opposite at all.
If you have laughed, surely you will cry,
As having lived ‘tis certain you will die
For sure there’ll come another rainy day,
And in the sun we’ll find a need to pray.
One is not meant to live this life in glee,
Nor think it true that humans can be free,
This is a savage place this place called Earth,
Where life needs death and death’s in need of birth,
For it is a simple method we fulfil,
To drink of water and to hunt and kill.
