Paradoxes

There are paradoxes , be assured In life that must be confronted, not endured If there is no conviction, don’t be lured That a drink is well balanced and matured Then you drink it expecting to be cured But it leaves your imbalance and immaturity ensured We think appreciation is all that’s worth having Like we are only bound to receiving From whence cometh the giving That we all await with our appetite for taking While the greatest nations are not withholding And their hand that giveth always suffices for a blessing Who said there was a title like “Honorable” I thought it was a trait that was measurable Selfless and unconditional service as is fathomable Being an example and symbol of all that is noble Making a teachable legacy probable Showing all the good that is possible They say that I speak to chastise But I wonder how they watch sunrise by sunrise Yet they fail to realize That a timely action today will save us time’s reprise Bringing pleasure to our eyes As we watch while adversity dies
