Contradictions

Silence can be deafening,
In Quiteness a storm can brew,
Being good can hurt you,
Treachery can help in winning,
Lies can have a good effect,
Truth,on the other hand,
May only invite trouble,
For the moments that are grave,
People can get annoyingly casual,

To think honestly,
Can become a crime,
To love truly,
A waste of time,
Maybe all will laugh & make merry,
At your funeral,
Maybe they are the same ones who ridiculed,
At times when you'd tumble;

People may also laugh,
At your expense,
Though you may not understand,
To them,its happiness,
People can talk deep,
Yet think superficial,
Have little or none yet behave like,
Kings of a 1000 castles,
And may say they are at peace,
In this hustle & bustle;

Nonsense talks may excite,
Serious issues brushed aside,
People may run from their duties,
Yet talk aloud about responsibilities,
To others....
They may be hostile,
Angry & Jealous of you,
Yet have such a friendly smile,
They may hold unnecessary grudges,
Yet keep hidden,
This disgusting profile;

It may even rain in spring,
It may even breeze when the air is still,
It may even snow in summer,
Ah ! The joy of the seasons,
Can sometimes be bitter;

You may feel alone,
Even with a 1000 crowd strong,
You may have everyone caring,
Still feel you don't belong,
You may have a brilliant mind,
Yet people will suppress it,
Though this world thrives on creativity,
Everyone opposes it,

With dedication you may work,
Yet the fruits of your labour,
May bear no result,
With a tremendous drive,
You want to succeed,
Yet you feel you've lost,
At every step of the way;
You may feel deceived,
Cheated,Hated
And berived,

...But still,Hope...
