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

Because of our Destiny.
