Before Now

BEFORE NOW
.
Before now I use to think
that life is full of sadness and melancholy,
I never thought about the joy of living.
.
Before now  I used  to think that life  was full of ups and down like the game, hurdle
I never thought there will emerge a king awarded a crown amongst the people.
.
Before now I used to think
that life is filled with madness and sorrow,
I never burrowed through sanity and joy that follows.
.
Before now I used to think that life is filled with treachery and pain,
But I never foresee the vantage and the gains.
.
Before now I used to think that life is full of wickedness and wretchedness,
the  rich getting richer and poor getting poorer,
I never knew it was as planned by that supreme being.
.
Before now I used to think
that the earth had unveil a dark ugly cloud, I feel and touch the night sprawling into silhouettes of thick darkness.
.
Life is a mystery unable to be predicted
but you care to live in this insane word of ours
look at life from the positive view,
Don’t give way for melancholy to define you.
