Irony Of Life Poem by Sulemana Adam

Imagine that good which is the evil
The laughter that begets tears
Worry and it's comrade, the courage
Sorrow, a complement of a hero
And how tomorrow opposes it's fellow,
The past glory

Time is sometimes twisted
And the least gets fisted
And how wants-all lose all
The loser stand tall
Loved well hates most
And famous gets lost
The irony of time

The irony of age
Bird in the cage
She runs and meets that
That she meets that she runs from
How the leader a servant
The people the power
The crowd killed the lion
The lady hits the iron
But the baby fathers the moment

The irony of life
Vain glory to the story
And the dearer the fearer
Beginning of the end that ends from beginning 
Foe friend a friend and a foe
How darker their white teeth
And black the beauty
The vain glory
And the fool gets in full
The foul gets the fowl
Simple neat nice
New the old
And truth a pain
Chameleon has won
But goat a meat
What a looser's haste
It runs deep the still waters
How poor the rich
Hollow the giant
And the humble a fool
And truth a pain
He makes that he likes not
That he likes most he sees not
The coffin, the vultures

How pain a gain
Freed the lamed
And the contrast the prove
The vain glory to the story 
Ah! .... And
And how true!
How love pure poison
That sorrows the story
Sadness and worry
And how sorry ends the story
