Life

To live is to love and also to hate
In the eyes destiny in the mind of fate
Some days happy and others so sad
How can such a beautiful world make so many people mad
On the hills of evolution I see a great relief
No matter how short the joy or how long the grief
In the hearts of man is the equation for peace
Logic plus understanding allows the soul to see
In conclusion to this theory I have one request
Live everyday as it is your last and in all do your best

Nice take on life - if only man could indeed solve the equation for peace! But I guess as we wait for that to happen we should adhere to your request.
