Poem

Why must we have a down day now and then

Are there new rules I'm not aware of

Basically I'm upbeat as I'm sure you all know

But today came crashing down with a thud

Sure we're all bitten by the sad bug at times

It's a big part of this thing we call life

It provides a balance, allowing us to compare

Too much of either, we pay the price

When we finally get it, how this thing works

Gives a feeling of contentment and ease

Opening up our minds with waves of compassion

Instead of constant conflicts across seas

To my way of thinking, it isn't rocket science

Why must there always be conflicts

Probably written on a huge tablet somewhere

Must be forced to follow some new edict

Countries of the world must sign a proclamation

To curb all incursions and aggression

Word “freedom” must prevail throughout the world

We must strive to eliminate oppression

For centuries the world has been fighting battles

It is totally incomprehensible to me

Intelligent, peace loving peoples have been trying

For centuries and we still can't agree

When I'm dead and gone, hope a time in the future

Peace will finally be achieved

Now if I was a betting man, I'd most likely lose

Who really knows, wonders never cease
