Contradictions of Life
Two major contradictions in life can bring you to your knees
Like opposing sisters in a family, as one arrives, the other leaves
Comedy and tragedy…
Two mascots, hovering above every life
One brings gifts of joy and laughter; the other brings pain and strife
Comedy and tragedy…
Mirth has a mind of her own desiring to stick around like glue
But her seemingly jealous sister, is most often misunderstood
Comedy and tragedy…
Each one unique in the role which they play
They seem to keep some balance on life’s revolving stage
Comedy and tragedy…
It has never crossed my mind, just how insane living here would be
If we all experienced only rain, without the sun how would species feed?
Comedy and tragedy…
Note: For Dr. Ram's "Tragedy is more enjoyable that Comedy"
