Fire and Ice BY ROBERT FROST

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

I wish I had learned more poetry. This can apply to so many situations in so many ways. It's beautiful in its simplicity.
