Is It Better?

is it better not to have

something from the start

or have the glory of the gift

and watch it fall apart

 

is it better to be blind

and not comprehend sight

or see the colors of the world

and watch it blacken to night

 

is it better to be poor

and not know luxury

or feel the life of king for a while

and fall to poverty

 

or is it better to live a life

and never be so sure

then see your whole world crash and burn

to ashes on the floor
