Michael Vacek Poet Rhyme

Contrarian Intuition

To Live, one must die;
To Control, one must yield;
To Trust, one must not ask why;
To Love, one must drop the shield.

Wisdom needs pain; 
Joy needs receptivity;
Stability needs strain;
Confidence, needs humility.

True Wealth, is given to the simplistic;
True Freedom, is granted to the restrained;
True Health is given to the holistic;
True Knowledge is granted to the trained.

True happiness...True happiness?
True happiness remains unexplained...
