Life in this planet
Is an adventurous expedition
Through a vast terrain
Of glorious fortunes and painful misfortunes
And an admixture
Of comic ironies and tragic paradoxes
Yes indeed
Life is a revealing pilgrimage
Of laughter and tears
And joy and grief
In these climes
The human encounter
For some
Provokes either healthy co-operation
Or violent competition
Bringing about glorious triumph for one
And humiliating defeat for the other
But you know
Every human encounter
Is for me an exploration
Into a lofty mystery!
