DARK BUT TRUTH

We are not here to live forever, but we don't want to go sooner Another birthday, a day closer to death The love for money is the roots of all evil they said But the preacher need it, more than the teacher What a deceit Ignoring knowledge, For dense A penny in pocket, makes everything fast and steady What you get is what you give, Only when justice prevails As a little child I saw my father goes, From brown to dark After toiling under the Sun, day by day, weeks to weeks From month to month, through seasons and ages Years passed away, he never lacks or wants There blows the winds Of change for growth He was too busy elevating others and forgot to acquire more Forgetting: NONE FEEDS from Nothing As season changed, People switched The compensation for, my fathers bruises Under the sun And kindness to others, Was nothing but death Died and buried Without taking along, all he labored for without seizing or giving, from season to season While he was a living What is the reason for betrayal and greed?? When there is always a reason to love and unite For it's a resolution of heaven on earth.
