The Universe and You

When you get what you want, someone looses what they need
While you sacrifice, someone succumbs to greed
When you give up, someone gives in
and when you loose, someone somewhere surely has to win
when you sing a song, there will be few who won't sing along,
and when you're too weak to stand, the oppressed might grow strong
While you give birth, someone might lose a friend
if you just experienced a beginning, someone just saw the end
when you send out a rhetorical question, someone out there hears you
and the answer that plays in his mind, may be tele-ported back to you
if you just found a confidant, someone out there faced brutal betrayal
while you give life, somebody somewhere kills
when a door opens up for you, it is slammed in some doomed person's face
and when you give up, someone might actually win the same race
While you like the thrills of the outdoors, someone wants to stay in
while you sport the saddest frown, someone just found a reason to grin

The universe has it's way of balancing itself perfectly
it's gives to some, and takes from some
Some are smart and some are dumb
but still the world goes around, and eventually, happiness is always found
whatever conspiracy the universe has in store for you, it'll send it across the earth in your way,
and whatever decisions it influences along it's way will be mere ripples to the actual wave
touching some other life and changing it's course
inspiring people, pushing them forward with force.
we live on a planet, who knows her way around
In fact she's keeping that balance, to keep us on the ground
the next time something is snatched away from your hands
remember, the universe has something else in store for you, a mightier plan.
