Let's go to the green steps of the lawn <br />And do the sums of life there sitting down <br /> <br />If we want only profits and no losses <br />And all the losses turn into profits <br />And all the profits turn into losses <br />Then the scale of life, of course, dis-balances <br />This leads us not in paradises but, of course, in hells. <br /> <br /> It seems to be small whatever things we gained <br />It seems to be big whatever things we lost <br />If all the lost things are gained <br />And all the gained things are lost <br />Then life is not, at a gain but definitely at a loss. <br /> <br />If the profits are the blissful graces <br />Then the losses are not less than the spices <br /> <br />Whatever we do on the steps sitting <br />All these are not sums but a bargaining <br />This Leads us nowhere but to do mistakes <br />In this we never do profits but always do losses.<br /><br />Abdul Wahab<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wisdom-96/
