Ju★pose

men depend on good, but do not always demonstrate it
women want to fall in love, but sometimes it’s not enough

while the world revolves on its axis
some imaginary times make up the highlights of our spans
and some are not so much beaming spots

but existence is fair
it’s a business of balance

even without senses, the acacia pushes tannic acid into the leaves from the stems
making them inedible in response to overgrazing
as such, the sweet life comes with its bitter moments to save us from decadence

and the true artist always realises
what opportunities misfortunes can provide
