Controversy

time is short-
 but so very long;
 everything that is right-
 is also wrong;
 times are hard-
 but easier than the past;
 today is forever-
 but it may be the last;
 the cradle was yesterday-
 the grave is tomorrow;
 things are in happiness-
 but also in sorrow;
 love is forever-
 but only a day;
 pain that lingers-
 it also seems to go away;life is short-
 but so very long;
 still can't distinguish
 between right and what's wrong...
