Theme: Irony

Mirage

Watch the sea from the shore
It looks as if it touches the sky somewhere
But it does not.

See the acts of some intelligent men
It seems to be full of thoughtfulness 
But it isn't.

Observe the rich man and his acts
We think that he will be generous
But he won’t, he'll be mean.

Watch a beautiful woman
She will behave in a way
That will look unpleasant.

Follow a philosopher and his acts
His responses will make us wonder
How practical he is.

If one shows a lot of sympathy
It will only be a waste.
The beneficiaries will be mercenaries.

We should learn to live with contradictions
Not because of our choice, but
Because of our Destiny.
