Irony

I was never

A formal student of philosophy

Often musing

Philosophically

 I never had the chance

To formally analyse the tragedy

Often encountering life

Tragically

I never understood

The meaning of utter cynicism

Often spewing frustrations

Cynically

I never realised

Life can often be completely black and white

Often navigating

Shades of grey

I never want to be

Completely un-free

Often celebrating

All of freedoms’ victories
