To Give is To Receive but Is It Fair? Poem by Fasica Berhane

To live is to give,

all that you have,

to the world.

And

what you have

may not be,

what you offer.

To live is to take all

you can

from the world.

And

what the world has may not be

what it offers.

In life, you may not know,

What

goes

Where.

You may not have a say

on the bargain.

You just give out something

And

receive nothing,

You may also give out nothing,

And

receive everything.
