Oxymoron

by Pauline_Morris

Good judgment comes from experience, experience from bad decisions This whole fucking life is a contradiction It's an oxymoron at every turn Every decision only gets you burned If in old age you manage to arrive That's when life's lessons are realized The young are bound in the futility of it all Never seeing the cliff before they fall Not wise enough to know God clipped our wings before the throw He turned everything upside down When he placed us on this hellish ground We all where marked You can't see the light unless your in the dark You don't appreciate the sun's rays Till you've stood in the storm for days Without pian you wouldn't relish the pleasure Without work, there would be no leisure What is good, if taken to much only leads to bad Giving love away leaves you with more than you had The act of forgiveness is not for the one that hurt you But heals your soul before its through So do the best you can in life Even when it equals strife For this world will keep you spinning For the score card is plain, death is winning But don't you worry, I'm sure that's an oxymoron too When deaths door we pass through Real living then will we ensue In death there will be no rest This life is but a test For the oxymoron weaves it's way through it all Even when death at your door calls
