Bitter is to sweet
January 27, 2008

Bitter is to sweet,
As sorrow is to joy,
As death is to life,
As evil is to good,
As wrong is to right.

Bitter is to sweet,
As hate is to love,
As sick is to healthy,
As hot is to cold,
As dark is to light.

Bitter is to sweet,
As negative is to positive,
As south is to north,
As night is to day,
As black is to white.

Bitter is to sweet,
As scarce is to abundant,
As enemy is to friend,
As worst is to best,
As weak is to might.

Bitter is to sweet,
As despair is to hope,
As false is to true,
As lost is to found,
As loose is to tight.

Bitter is to sweet,
As poor is to rich,
As deny is to admit,
As cry is to laugh
As blind is to sight.
Bitter is to sweet,
As me is to you,
As war is to peace,
As corrupt is to pure
As rude is to polite.

Bitter is to sweet.
