Is It Simple
Rain
Falls
Wind
Blows
Is it simple?
No
Rain falls,
Like leaves
New to autumn
Falling to the ground
Wind blows,
Carrying tunes
In the air,
Cheering
Rain
Beauty and hate
Beauty:
Grass
Flowers
Us
New world
Hate:
Floods
Storms
Damage
Wind
Beauty and hate
Beauty:
Blowing tunes for all to hear
Cheering those who need it
Giving a feeling of triumph or glory
A sense of love
Hate:
Selfish humans
Storms
Damage
Now wind and rain
Are all but similar
But are they simple?
No
There’s more to life
Than what we may
Suspect
We need to learn
To look deeper
To see the beauty
To see the hate
And when you grasp that
Do what you want with it
Some will choose to
dwell on hate
some will choose to
dwell on beauty
some will discard
this poem
and say there is no meaning
but beware of this,
and this I know
life will come
and life will go
sometimes we need to
shine the light on
the world
this Earth is
not as bad as you
might think
if you choose
the beauty,
you are beautiful
if you choose
the hate
think about that
you are hated
if you don’t like
this test I’ve given
change your life
for you are
the only one who can
Which do you
Choose?
