2. HARD TIMES <br />The times are hard, <br />Man is bad <br />The rhymes are sad, <br />Man is bad. <br />The times are tough, <br />Man is rough. <br />The Chinese say: <br />Men go bad <br />Only once they get rich; <br />While women go bad <br />Only once they get poor. <br />And as if we've come to the end <br />Of the road; <br />Hard times succeed hard times <br />Bad men succeed bad men <br />And sad rhymes succeed sad rhymes. <br />But in the midst of this seeming endless <br />Successions of hard times <br />Sad rhymes <br />And bad men <br />I hear the voice of history <br />Saying: <br />Men tough and rough <br />Times hard and bad <br />Rhymes sad and bad <br />Never ever outlive the eternity of time! <br />Orifah Samson Obadun<br /><br />Orifah Samson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hard-times-30/
