PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It blinds, deafens, weakens, and hurts.

It deprives of coherency, literacy, rationality, and thought.

It is rarely patient and often cruel.

It causes envy and pride in most.

It is often seen as evil and dishonest.

It injures, wounds, impairs, and cuts.



Yet while it does all these



It strengthens, lifts, pleases, and builds.

It fortifies sympathy, kindness, compassion, and heart.

It is rarely vindictive and never foul.

It causes desire and delight in most.

It is often seen as beautiful and pure.

It repairs, enhances, mends, and heals.



It has brought kings to their knees

And peasants to their feet

It gives the weak wings to fly

And makes the strong humble

It is worth dying for

And even worth crying for

It leaves no room for hate

But can be the reason for it

And above all else

It is the difference between

existence

And life.
