Notes About The Poem

"OXYMORON" FROM MY ROOF TOP GARDEN, 06 JULY 2017, MY PHOTO, ©

Oxymoron

Although:
-We are uninterruptedly reminded of death we are all surprised when it comes!

-We abhor old age, we seem to do everything we can to be old!

-We have been taught that love is the salvation of humanity we succumb to hate’s demands!

-We have seen the horrors of wars we never stop discovering more powerful weapons of destruction!

-We know by polluting the planet we endanger our existence, yet we keep polluting it!

-History teaches us that things do not change by themselves, we keep hoping things to  get better without us altering our ways!

-We have been convinced of our mortality, we don't make any serious effort to prepare for immortality!

-We are aware of our limited knowledge we never stop criticizing God's wisdom!
