To Live Or To Die

Truth exists; only lies are invented, There is heaven but I couldn't find the stairway, I found myself in hell, So I walked as if I own the place. The society made me, But later said I'm not good, They judged me shortly, Forgetting every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. I kept my eyes on the stars, And my feet on a solid rock, I dreamt and worked as if I will die today, Since a man's failure manifests when regrets take the place of dreams. In life, anybody can survive and succeed, The answers are all out there, We just need to ask the right questions, And choose to get rich, self actualized or die in abject poverty.
