It Is Possible Poem by Sarah Dharmasiri

It is possible to be a lover but also one who hates
It is possible to be destructive but also one who creates
It is possible to spread laughter everywhere you go
It is possible to spread anger, to spread sorrow, to spread woe.

It is possible to be peaceful, to be thoughtful, to be calm,
It is possible to reckless, to be rash and cause alarm,
It is possible to educate, pass on wisdom, wisely teach
It is possible to be ignorant, deal in rumours, spread deceit.

It is possible to sympathise with both parties in a war
It is possible that sympathy does not extend to ‘for’,
It is possible to have tolerance and respect without agreeing
It is possible there is something that you are just not seeing.

It is possible that there are things you may never understand
It is possible there is no answer, no solution to be found,
It is possible that other people just won’t feel the same way
It is possible that they may do on another different day.
