Conflict

Some say “it’s better to have love and lost than never love at all” They also say “if it was meant to be it will come right back to you” I say “love is the enemy the silent destroyer and not to be underestimated” It is the ruler of your brain and the master of your heart Anything lost should remain lost; if its possession was of any worth it would not be neglected Nothing is meant to be if it was not carved in stone, our future is mold by our choices. Never get emotionally attach to anything /any one you cannot see yourself without. For life is a journey and understanding should not compliment doubt. Some say “never to burn your bridges behind you” They also say “you cannot know the future without knowing your past” I say “knowing your history is one thing but the future still remains a mystery. Some bridges are made to be burned while some weren’t strong enough to last Not everyone that gives a helping hand has a good intention Your friend could be as close as your brother but behind his aid manifest deception “No man is an island and no man stands alone”, I remember this well. Who made this phrase up, what do they mean and on what aspect? Please do tell. Unity is strength I know this to be true and still what was made a whole can be broken in two I say “anything you can’t do by your self leave it alone and be very careful not to make ones burden your own. Some say “the youths have no hope for the future” Yet what hope does the future provide for the youths? And what’s the sense of being direct if it’s not all the truth? Also what good is an opinion now if you chose to be mute? I say “youths make use of your prime” And ensure that you’re being paid for your time. Never expect people to tell you the truth, It would be a bonus if they do People will say what they want also do what they want So I say, time is money so when you talk be quick And when you come with your ideology or your tricks Come prepared for a conflict
