There's Nothing Good or Bad

This poem challenges the idea of right and wrong, urging readers to embrace life boldly. It’s a call to action—run the race, take what’s yours, and let fate be the judge.

Take to hills and run the race
The world is full of Ups and downs
Crack your nuts and bite them hard
For there is nothing good or bad

Wipe your tears and take the chance
And never try to turn your back
Grab the peas and raise them high
For there's nothing good or bad

Brave your way and steal your own
And never stop to wait for them
Take them up and throw them off
And leave the Lord to judge the race

Run about and show the nuts
And let them know that you're the one
Beat your chest and sing aloud
For there's nothing good or bad

Now you've reached the end and back
You could now sit and rest your back
Talk the talk and don't be jack
For there's nothing good or bad!

Author's Note

Who decides what's good or bad ? You or fate? Why bother yourself before running the race?
