by Christopher Kudyahakudadirwe

Did you know that
We're born in order to die
And death is part of life?
Did you know that
We're sad in order to be happy
And happy in order to be sad?
Has it ever occured to you
That we're poor in order to be rich
Or ignorant in order to be wise?
We're young in order to grow old,
Single in order to be married
And married in order to divorce.
We must be well in order to be sick;
We depart in order to arrive
And we hate in order to love.
Did you know that
There's no negative without a positive?
