Black humor
Everyone thinks of paradise
Through the hell and pleasure
Solely on self-enjoyment
Without looking to faults and frailties
Without the attitude of gratitude
However, life goes on playing the game
Without doing great good
Without wishing love and food
Treat the time only for self
With deeply personal fanfare
To earn full of pleasure
Keeping sad the lonely neighbor
Without multiplying the time and love
life over
Journey to paradise halts in
Hell and pleasure
Time turns a black humor
