What You Want Isn'T Available
What You Want Isn't Available
Life isn't what you call it
It rarely gives what you eat
You just have to make a hard hit
In life, there isn't anything neat
Those who ride in pleasures
Have in them a lot of pains
Just that you never see the pressure
That weighs down their boisterous veins
Once I saw a woman angry
Cause her pot was suddenly missing
Hardly knew it went to a family hungry
Until she met all her pot kissing
Father and children dining
Without any smiling
In a pot so shining
That the owner went back crying
That was a great time
When the owner owe the thief
Some pity despite the crime
For the owner's sorrow's too brief
Such is life
Some in a car drives
And into the lagoon dives
Perhaps, his life was like a bee hives
Never allow life to make you cry
For it will make your gland go dry
Never allow life to make you laugh
That will sure turn you rough
So, stop thinking I could make you laugh
You alone can build your smiles
How should I make you cry?
Please, always own your tears gland
Pick up your ink
If you really need some tears, think!
Then, write and cry
Cry until your soaked shirt turns dry
Remember all those good time
Spent and wish to spend
You may think of paradise clime
Then, write and laugh to the the end
