Eternal Balance

Future becomes the present The present becomes the past Last shall finish first First shall finish last To satisfy our hunger for vanity We eat the grapes of wrath Good things happen for bad reasons Tell me who do you believe in I’ve journey the green mile Beseech and you will see I am destiny’s child Versatile with a perfect style Taking a sip then a dip in the rive Nile Start to finish The beginning of the end What goes up comes down Just follow the trend Once a man and twice a child All goods things are for a while Change that frown to a smile Time never stops ticking The sand in the hourglass won’t stop dripping The sun signifies a new day has come The moon signifies the new day is done Why do the good die young? A child is born While mother looses her son From the womb to the tomb In between is where I loom What goes around comes around Don’t jump in the water if you can’t swim Otherwise you’ll surely drown Just as the earth is round If you make a noise you’ll hear a sound Please don’t turn it upside down Every action there’s a reaction Every disappointment has its satisfaction Inferior metamorphoses to superior Majority transcends to minority To progress forward and never look back You have to keep your balance intact

Well this is more like a didactic poem, so change the form, I must confess that this poem is a bunch of truth. Keep writing. You are great!
