It doesn't rain,

it pours.

Money doesn't just talk,

it shouts.

It cannot be coincidental,

that life exists only in 2 states.

Either EVERYTHING is in a state

of tranquil peace

or

EVERYTHING is in a state

of tempestuous turmoil.

EVERYTHING,

just EVERYTHING

or NOTHING.

I begin to understand

my Dad

a little better

everyday.

Like I said last week,

I begin to live his life

everyday.

And the things he said

and done,

became clearer

everyday.

In the twilight

of that man's life,

as he recollects

the bitterness

of failure,

in money, love and family.

Can I take it against him,

he reacted as bad

as the way he did?

A broken life

makes a man

vehemently resentful.

Like a festering wound,

that wouldn't heal.

No band aid plaster,

will make it prettier,

in the long run.

The gangrened wound

would reek

of vile stench.

Likewise,

no amount of rationale,

moral value,

love and consideration,

can possibly overcome

a bitter and resentful heart

at the end

of a broken life.
