“life Has It All” Poem by Munia Khan

The light has the dark
As the darkness has the light
The mightiness has the cowardice
As the cowardice has the might.

The right has the wrong
As the wrong has the right
The fight has the peace
As the peace has the fight

The reality has the unreal
As the fantasy has the reality.
The fidelity has the deceit
As the deceit has the loyalty

The pureness has the impure
As the impurity has the pure
The unsure has the certainty
As the certainty has the unsure.

The humanity has the cruelness
As the inhuman has the humanity
The sanity has the madness
As the madness has the sanity

The whiteness has the black
As the blackness has the white
The brightness has the dimness
As the dim has the bright.

The goodness has the evil
As the evil has the good
The rude has the politeness
As the politeness has the rude.

The pain has the pleasure
As the pleasure has the pain
The gain has the sacrifice
As the sacrifice has the gain

The mind has the mindlessness
As the mindless has the mind
The kindness has the cruelty
As the cruelty has the kind

The richness has the poverty
As the poverty has the richness
The fitness has the weak
As the weak has the fitness

The lie has the truth
As the truth has the lie
The cry has the joy
As the joy has the cry

The hindrance has the freedom
As the freedom has the hindrance
The remembrance has the forgetfulness
As the forgetfulness has the remembrance

The life has the death
As the death has the life
The strife has the simplicity
As the simplicity has the strife

The ‘in’ has the ‘out’
As the ‘out ‘ has the ‘in’
The meanness has the broadness
As the broadness has the mean

The tears has the smile
As the smile has the tear.
The fear has the venture
As the venture has the fear

The guidance has the misguided
As the misguidance has the guide
But the pride has the pride
And a coin has its “side”

The opposite has the opposite
And never does life oppose it.

But this happens above -

Because the love has the hatred
And the hatred has the love.
