A Free verse written on the irony of life.
Paradox of life

The paradox of a life,
forever unchanged within itself.
A true heart without happiness,
living an insensate existence.

Will life give to those deserving,
a turn for happiness, unattainable?
Or will this cruel life take,
what it seems to do consistently?

Does happiness exist for all,
or only a moment for a lucky few?
If the meaning of life is happiness,
why do we fail at this so miserably?

Maybe there is no good, there is no bad;
it's just life without a path, no destiny.
To believe in destiny is to believe in a path.
To believe in a path is to believe in a greater being.
There is no being, there is no path, there is no destiny.

It's just the paradox of life………
