WHAT IS . . . . . . ?

What is time to the man who is always in a hurry?
What is peace to the man who always has to worry?
What is war to the man who always has to fight?
What is truth to the man who has never known what's right?
What is victory to the man who has always been beaten?
What is food to the man who has seldom eaten?
What is opportunity to the man who will never take a chance?
What is love to the man who has never known romance?
What is anything to the man who struggles all of his life for nothing?

Poem by John Leonard Harris (1983)
