Life's Irony Poem by Fareez Phalez

Isn't it funny
You commanded us a road to take
Yet put mountains in our way
Is that a mistake?

Isn't it funny
How easy it is to do wrong
But staying on the right track
Requires us to stay strong?

Isn't it funny
You told us to be patient
But push us till we blow up
And punish us like that isn't supposed to happen?

Isn't it funny
Despite all that we still talk to you everyday
And you say nothing back
But have more trouble come our way?

Isn't it funny
That if we chose to end our lives
The lives that you raised hell upon
We still won't have a place in paradise?

'Cause I don't think it's funny
If you have so much pain to go through
For the one you put your faith and trust in
And that same one is the one who hurts you
