Desire & Infatuation

Desire can be sustained
Fulfillment, not;
Hope can be sustained
Achievement, not;
Love can be sustained
Infatuation, not.

Old & Good

Growing old is good
When one has had a good life
Because nothing can take that away;
Growing old is also good
When one has had a bad life
Because total relief is on its way.

Thoughts & Viruses

When negative thoughts assail us
We should endure them like viruses
Which cause us to fee sick for a while
Before they are conquered by our immunity.

Love & Beauty

The eyes of love can re-beautify
Our faces and our figures
Which time has robbed
Of their beauty.

Compliments & Hubris

Compliments
Unlaced with flattery
Pass unnoticed
By hubris.

History & Myopia

Nations cannot think
Outside their cultural biases;
This cultural myopia is the reason
Why history repeats itself.

Imperfections & Cheerfullness

Laughing at our imperfections
Begets cheerfulness;
Denying or hiding them
Begets melancholy.
