POESY: MEASURE FOR MEASURE

MEASURE FOR MEASURE 

Measure for measure 

In pain and pleasure,

In work and leisure,

In bankruptcy and treasure.

So in life the opposites dwell

As dual is life in its uneven swell.

Today, tomorrow, yesterday that was,

All are, will be, have been the cause

For life's rollercoaster ride that's been,

Is ride on now and ride that'll be.

From rags to riches and riches to rags

Youth blooms now and in old age sags.

Thus measure for measure's the best way to be,

The golden mean that keeps you free,

And lets you waltz through eternity.
