It's Not Easy

No it's not easy, living can be sleazy fraught badly taught
Taut with apprehension, how should we live? some say give
Nothing, take everything' watch and judge wait till their feet
Slip then bear down ' not with them.. Sound bias test your lie
Although it could feel out the forms distant, sound waves Out sent as the bat does,   mammal or willow different Methods same world  shame we won't open our hearts
And so preoccupied we desist to really live
To merely drift exist '

Panagiota Romios Date: 1/26/2022 12:50:00 PM I think life was never easy. And it depends where one resides. Some I know do live well with principles. Others like BATS. Mean, unprincipled, but always patting themselves on the back. Puke. I like humble people. Hugs, Pangie xo Login to Reply Joe Maverick Date: 1/26/2022 2:24:00 PM Ha..' Got it here Panagiota, thanks for commenting no one is Always right; I see that as a right enough understanding but The blinkers are always being placed on people I wonder how Long humans will comply I heard that rockefeller was supplying A certian oil to Ww2 Germany without which their plane engines Would Have seized thereby shortening that conflict search Me I'd not known of that.' Oh well we can only try our best to learn

Susan Szoke Date: 1/25/2022 11:50:00 AM Life isn't easy, it was never meant to be. How would we grow if never challenged? 'In this world you will have trouble' is a promise, no guesswork there. For now, almost everything in life has become much more difficult. Dysfunction is taught and encouraged from the top on down in our nation. Hopefully, change is coming. Blessings!

Susan Szoke Date: 1/7/2022 3:30:00 PM Living life well with honesty and integrity has never been easy. Many settle for being 'less than'...less than admirable, honest, and so forth. We may have to help someone else to live up to higher standards...if we are open to the good that will do. Your poem provoked all this thought...a write requiring serious reflection. Great content!
