Opposites may bring out a new reality in our lives with the homeless calling the shots.

If truth were lies

And lies were truth

What a life

It would be

- – -

If day was night

And night was day

What a sight

That would be

- – -

If black was white

And white black

I wonder if some white folks

Would be unhappy

- – -

If being rich was poor

And poor rich

I wonder

What the homeless

Now rich

Would be

- – -

And if up was down

With down up

We’ll all be turned

Upside down

- – -

It surely would make

For a wild

And crazy world

With people admiring

Bad as good

- – -

With some whites

Wanting to be black

And the rich

Emulating the poor

- – -

The homeless

Will be in their element

For in richness

They will be

Very thought provoking. Fortunately bad is the new good today.

I really enjoyed the switch towards the end. Very unique

Yup. I wonder what would have happened if everything turns upside-down? You just gave me some ideas to think about. Keep it up, my friend…

And if anyone thinks chaos would emerge – wrong. Just the world would have the opposite way of existence. Opposite world order. Not so bad, if you look at the bigger picture.
