PARADOX
PARADOX
Every line has a meaning; every meaning has a line…
We think we have the worst story;
We heard other’s, we exclaimed, ‘GLORY’
It’s cold now, when will it be hot?
Now it’s hot, Oh Cold! Be our lot
When it rains, we crave sun;
Now it scorches, we say, ‘Rain Is Fun’
We dream, but are afraid of its reality
We see reality but fantasize on fantasy
We despise love—it’s cheap but deep;
We idolize hatred—it robs us of sleep
We want the flower, the tower and the shower
We want the whole world in our power
We want this; we want that
But we have neither this nor that
We want to be here, and there
But we are neither here nor there:
Joyful in sorrow; sorrowful in joy
Happy in sadness; sad in happiness
Laughing but crying; crying but laughing
Sane in insanity; insane in sanity
Filthy in holiness; holy in filthiness
Fearful in courage; courageous in fear
Poor in riches; rich in poverty
Healthy in wealth; wealthy in health
Love in lust; lust in love
Beautiful but ugly; ugly but beautiful
Speaking but silent; silent but speaking
Thinking while sleeping; sleeping while thinking
Filled with emptiness; empty in fullness
Abundant in lack; lacking in abundance
Fruitful in barrenness; sterile in fruitfulness
Praying in despair; despair in prayer
Strength for weakness; feeble in strength
Honesty in dishonesty; dishonesty in honesty
Peace in war; war in peace
Civil but military; military but civil
Goodness in evil; evil in goodness
Rising but falling; falling but rising
Coming but going; going but coming
Dead but living; living but dead…
To win or to lose: to be used or to use
Man is man when man knows man
Death will die, and life will live…
