Uncomfortable questions

January 3rd, 2008 · 3 Comments · Poetry

Isn’t it easy to smile, than frown?
To fight back, than give up and drown

Isn’t it easy to love, than hate?
To create life, than leave it to fate

Isn’t it easy to build schools, than army bases?
To live in harmony, than wipe out entire races

Isn’t it easy to exercise, than be obese?
To eat carrots, than pizza and cheese

Isn’t it easy to read a book, than talk ill?
To stay away, than take part in rumor mill

Isn’t it easy to spread laughter, than terror?
To live and let live in peace, than horror

Isn’t it easy to be easy, than tough?
To hug and kiss, than behave rough

Why then, do we insist on being difficult?
Can’t we stand tall and proud, than sulk?

    Bonjour Vijay!

    I totally LOVE this poem.

    And when I read it…I hear music.
    Have you ever thought of writing songs?

    Big hugs and lots of LOVE,
    Mudd a.k.a. Oza
    xoxo
