POEM - THERE IS A POSTULATE
There is a postulate: life teaches us harshly,
giving the tragedy as lessons.
Fate is a bad teacher! should be taught by words,
And they do not heal with cruel action,
They make healthy people unhealthy!

Life gives a person warm emotions.
And rudely remove these emotions
At the moment when the happy does quietly
A model of earthly paradise with tender feelings
A whisper from the lips of a loved one and the babbling of a child!

Why does fate cruelly strike,
Instantly turns heart to stone?
The earthly paradise has been taken away, and a lonely person
Will no longer be able to recreate the flame of feelings
In place where there is a wound, terrible and deep!

Fate is a bad teacher! Pissed off,
knowing the tragedy, he will not learn again
Love and affection! Even a goat, is broken by fate
He looks at this world like an evil wolf,
And he remembers the taste of salty tears!
