The Bads and the Unsads

If you care the others
You’ll be cared by them
If you care with love
You’ll be loved by them
None of caress lives for the bads
But not every caress fed by the unsads
As long as the sad has caused the good
There won’t be a big stone blocking your boat
That will bring you to the love, that gold
