There are times when I have given a thought to the way events unfold in the world at large. Why do things happen the way they do? Why do people behave like there is no tomorrow? Why are there two sides to a coin? Why???
Why is it so easy, to tell a white lie
Asked to be honest, we just don’t comply
Asked to do good, Oh! Very difficult indeed
Why is it so easy, to tread the path wrong
The path of the right, more difficult than a song
Why is it so easy, a person to hurt
Why can’t we be, a bit more curt?
Why is it so easy, selfish to be
Caring & sharing, well, that’s life, you see.
Why is it so easy, our neighbour to hate
Were love could be flowing, we build a large gate
Why, so easily do misunderstandings arise?
And we flame the fire, which would never subside
Why is it so easy, a friendship to break
To form a new one, years will it take.
Why is it so easy, to speak out our mind
When asked to listen, we act as if blind.
Why do we repeat, these ‘easy things’
Shame & sorrow, that’s all it brings.
So, take a vow, & take it now
Hard & strong, that’ll ring a gong
We will change the way we walk
And become a better flock.
