THE ROLLER COASTER
THE ROLLER COASTER
Struggling from the start to end
in a roller coaster ride,
you can't stir from right to left
as the world is flying fast.
Sometimes, you go up and high,
thinking you will reach the sky,
but alas,you find yourself
falling down with sinking heart.
What can you do, but just wait
till your turn comes to its end?
You get off while comers, on,
leaving coaster whirling round.
Despite ups and downs, you feel
you can cheer, or you can wail,
thanking Who placed you on earth
or just cursing plunge and death.
