Irony of Life

The one who cares the most is hurt by all,
In life, a liar is always praised,
While the honest are kept in a shadow of
lies.
See the irony of life!

A painter burning midnight oil
To give life to his masterpiece,
Might be a piece of scribbled cardboard
for someone.
See the irony of life!

The one who works the hardest
Is often overlooked and unseen,
While the manipulator, who plays with
hearts,
Wins affection and attention with ease.
See the irony of life!

A pilot soaring through the skies
Might never grasp the science beneath
his flight,
The more you surround yourself with
people,
The lonelier you may feel at night.
See the irony of life!

I wonder why the pure-hearted suffer,
While the cruel ones seem to thrive,
Brilliant minds lost in the chaos,
As the foolish ones shine so bright.
See the irony of life!

The more we strive to simplify our lives,
The more entangled we become,
See the irony woven through our days,
In this intricate dance of life’s own drum.
See the irony of life!
