Victim Or Victor

Sometimes in your side is the painful thorn
At some other time you will bloom in rose
There are times when almost all hues are torn
And also times when you rest in repose

Though upset by a story in a mess
The rose always stays a wonderful rose
What in fact matters to us in a race
In any event is still how you pose

This is why very often a victim
Even in his crush can find a rainbow
Instead of being sad and languishing
Unfolds his self like a striking fresco

So long I am in the shade of your touch
Victor or victim does not matter much
