IN A WORLD
 

In a world,
of only extremes,
of ON or OFF,
of HOT or COLD,
we each need to know,
what anything really means.

In a world,
of contrasting views,
of FRONT and BACK,
of RIGHT and WRONG,
we each need some clue,
of which one to choose.

In a world,
so fragile and fast,
of PAIN and LOVE,
of JOY and FEAR,
is there some way,
for happiness to last?

In a world,
where knowledge is king,
of BUY and SELL,
of GIVE and TAKE,
where is this place,
where happiness can bring?

In a world,
with nature to show,
all is right,
all is wrong,
all is good,
all is bad,
it all depends,
on what and who,
that you know.

For the world we live,
has no right,
has no wrong,
has no win,
has no lose,
for each will take a turn,
as we have learned.

The way of happy,
the way of smile,
to realize the middle,
is so worthwhile.

No more to rise,
only to fall,
no more to start,
only to stall.

Come to know,
that all is well,
learn to live,
between heaven and hell.

Accept the world as it is,
not a smart place,
it is the people,
who created the rat race.
