Haves and Have Nots

In the grand story of life, a tale unfolds, Of the Haves and have-nots, their stories untold. For in this world, where survival reigns supreme, Life's true meaning obscured, like a forgotten dream. Ideologies clash, religions divide, Political affiliations in which we confide. But strip away the labels, the lines we draw, And what remains is the primal, the raw. The Haves wield power, wealth in their hand, While the have-nots struggle, in a barren land. Yet amidst this disparity, one truth stands clear, In the end, all achievements disappear. Monuments crumble, awards gather dust, As time sweeps away what we thought we must. For what truly matters, in the depths of the soul, Is the quality of life, that makes us whole. Mind, body, spirit, intertwined as one, In the journey of life, under the same sun. Love, the beacon, that lights up the night, Sustaining us through darkness, guiding us to light. It's love that sustains us, through trials and strife, Giving hope to ourselves, our children, our life. For in the end, when all else fades away, Love remains, the essence of our stay. So let us cherish love, in all its forms, For it's love that weathers all storms. And as we navigate this journey, uncertain and vast, Let love be our compass, our anchor to the last.
