The Paradox Poem by Veronica Tamondong

The Paradox

Rating: 5.0


The Paradox of our time in history is that

We have bigger houses and smaller families,
More conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense,
More knowledge, but less judgment,
More medicine, but less wellness.


We drink too much,
smoke too much,
spend too recklessly,
laugh too little,
drive too fast,
get too angry,
stay up too late,
get up too tired,
read too little,
watch TV too much,
and pray too seldom.

The Pardox, the paradox, the paradox

The paradox, the poem, the poetess. Practically perfect.

A lovely piece of poetry, well articulated, nicely encapsulated and insightfully penned with conviction. A beautiful depiction of restlessness in our greedy quest for materialism. Thanks for sharing Veronica. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
