Poem
THE SWEETER, THE BITTER The sweeter the bitter, the bitter the sweeter; There is nothing like a free lunch, the sweeter the bitter Lift me high so you can pull me down, the sweeter the bitter Only my loved ones can hurt me, the sweeter the bitter You sing only sweet melodies to entice me not knowing you are luring friendily to win me and satisfy your secret but wicked ambitions, the sweeter the bitter I have fought so hard for you so if you can’t praise me, don’t shame me The sweeter the bitter Inside the gun is complete darkness but a bullet remains harmless until it sees a little light Bigger baits attract worthy fishes. The sweeter the bitter Why has a whole brain been reduced to a common sweet? The sweeter the bitter In times of light I bloom, so you hold me tight and look at me in the eyes saying “you are simply the best” Now there is darkness which has covered even the whitest snow, yes I am doomed but stop telling serpent that I am the worst. The sweeter the bitter Please tell me just one thing in this world that is always sweet but never bitter, the sweeter the bitter No pain means no gain, the more you build the more you destroy, for perfect peace we should wage tougher wars the sweeter the bitter Bear the pains to live death will soon embrace you, crown you, honour you and reveal all your hidden achievements. The dead enjoys more than the living the sweeter the bitter The closer the light the hotter it becomes Gaining one friend brings you more than one enemy Sugar is sweet but could be very dangerous the sweeter the bitter How I was born is not how I will die the sweeter the bitter You have done things so great in the world but why do you bother to see the end of the sea When you do anything possible to start your living just be wise death will certainly drag you and end the living the sweeter the bitter To enjoy every bit of peace we must tolerate every bit of bitterness Democracy, election and good governance are all sweet why then do we turn them bitter The sweeter the bitter Ironically you are for the nation but your selfish desires scatters the whole nation the sweeter the bitter A word to the wise they say is enough; this is sweet but very bitter. So I say the sweeter the bitter. By GODFRED K.B.ADJEI tel:0270800513,email:gak_brant@yahoo.com facebook:GODFRED KB ADJEI
