Joy and Sadness


Now, Joy was filled all over,

And sadness is seen in some;

Though joyous they would be, they seem sad

But sweetness flowed on others minds.

 

Sadness was filled, by the day’s end

And dances of joy elsewhere;

Joy was enjoyed there,

Spreading smiles and screams.

 

But joy is temporary

Lasting for few hours;

But sadness follows throughout

That the demon cherishes.

 

Joy enjoys,

Those few hours;

Sadness kills skills,

Most of the times.

 

Joy is a variable,

With less cares;

Sadness equals death,

Striking any time.
