Life Is A Contradiction Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Writing to incessant music, having fun thinking, pondering
life and it's idiosyncrasies, living on earth is a contra-
diction it seems.

What kind of lives do we really have? People separated into
poor, middle class and rich, yet we are all created equal?

Using free will, people either are good or evil, very little
in between these opposites.

Giving freely, taking selfishly, compromising, being stubbornly
uncompromising.

Yet we have families and friends, living, loving, caring and
compassionate towards one another.

Spreading from there into communities, cities, states, and
countries all over the world.

Touching other people's lives, enriching them with love and
caring, doing much more than those with lots of money.

Poor people are our examples here on earth, showing us what
it means to love and care for each other, even having nothing
themselves to call their own.

Compassion does not discriminate like money and riches do,
life here on earth is so difficult to comprehend, yet so
simple in truth.
