POEM - THERE IS A POSTULATE

There is a postulate: life teaches us harshly,

giving the tragedy as lessons.

Fate is a bad teacher! should be taught by words,

And they do not heal with cruel action,

They make healthy people unhealthy!

Life gives a person warm emotions.

And rudely remove these emotions

At the moment when the happy does quietly

A model of earthly paradise with tender feelings

A whisper from the lips of a loved one and the babbling of a child!

Why does fate cruelly strike,

Instantly turns heart to stone?

The earthly paradise has been taken away, and a lonely person

Will no longer be able to recreate the flame of feelings

In place where there is a wound, terrible and deep!

Fate is a bad teacher! Pissed off,

knowing the tragedy, he will not learn again

Love and affection! Even a goat, is broken by fate

He looks at this world like an evil wolf,

And he remembers the taste of salty tears!
