Flip it, hidden or showing Head or tails remains same coin Just like water, liquid or ice Roll a 6-sided once or twice still same dice Life is like a throw-able object That can rest in multiple positions But not a gambling device or gadget For causing random seasons For each step forward feel your back For the lack of eyes invites a stab Elevation heads towards enemy attack When the wise bite like a crab When you only stare at the window You don't see outside and beyond And the world is a mirror, smile for this sake But your real one can invite another so fake A buffalo by a riverbank Only sees the water and it's own face Quenching thirst expecting no attack By the crocodile below the surface Chickens are better for they stir up dust To pull out worms and ants Humans are clever for they hide in masks To pull some stunts

The Other Side of Life
Flip it, hidden or showing Head or tails remains same coin Just like water, liquid or ice Roll a 6-sided once or twice still same dice Life is like a throw-able object That can rest in multiple positions But not a gambling device or gadget For causing random seasons For each step forward feel your back For the lack of eyes invites a stab Elevation heads towards enemy attack When the wise bite like a crab When you only stare at the window You don't see outside and beyond And the world is a mirror, smile for this sake But your real one can invite another so fake A buffalo by a riverbank Only sees the water and it's own face Quenching thirst expecting no attack By the crocodile below the surface Chickens are better for they stir up dust To pull out worms and ants Humans are clever for they hide in masks To pull some stunts
