Five Liner. Paradox Poem by Valsa George
Five Liner. Paradox
When we really crave for something
The world makes sure we don’t get it
But it hands us the same thing on a platter
When we have little use of it
What a strange paradox we are in!
We must therefor make due with what is provided or find a way to change the paradigm.
You have presented an amazing paradox of life in this interesting poem. This hands up same thing in a platter. Wise and motivational piece of work shared is very nice.10
That is the irony of life. Early in life when one cannot make both ends meet, one is not in a position to get things on craves for. Later in life when one can afford, health forbids one from reaching them. Beautifully put in the poem.
This is redolent with wisdom and experience, something that goes over the head of someone as callow as I am. In sooth, life tenders help and grants our greatest wishes only when the time of need has ebbed away, when the value of what we initially desired is undermined by other things. Not only does this exposit the mocking hand extended by life, but also humans can never dwell on one thing sempiternally.
I like Ayman’s and Savita’s comments; I confess I didn’t read the others. I have several pairs of sox, but my wardrobe has no paradox! where can I buy them? I would say “use for it” in this instance, (not “use of it”) but I’m American and you aren’t. why, you are almost-English I bet! what you state may not be actually true, but I suppose one could think it is at times. e.g.: maybe the first two lines explain why I don’t get ‘enough’ ice cream. and the second two lines explain why I’ve had thee ungrateful wives! ! ! ………..though I don’t remember them being on “platters”. bri :) happy holidays!
One of my friend used to tell us a joke. When we had teeth parents didn't give us Chanas(chick peas) . Now that we have no teeth plateful of Chanas are on table! Enjoyed reading the five liner.

Valsaji I will tell you a secret. When I crave something, I try not to like it with all my heart and soon I get that very thing. I don't know if it works for all but it works for me and so I may have found a way to trick destiny :)
Thank you Ayman for disclosing a secret! But how can we crave something and not to like it at the same time! I don't think I can try this trick! :) :)
