The Rest - Poem by Lyn Paul
Just What
An Angry World
We Live
Once Free
To Just Breathe
Survive
Now
Killing ourselves
Unknowingly
Believing
Our Minutes
Too valuable
We all want more
More time
more money
Competing
Nothing is enough
But
Should we not
Just want
Love, health and just hope
For the rest
Settling
For just
Living, breathing
Being alive

We long for material prosperity at the cost of love, hope, inner happiness and a healthy self! Unfortunately we have the wrong priorities which make us have a meagre existence and not a fulfilling life! Great thoughts! (Report)Reply
Absolutely right. We should just be happy to be alive. Unfortunately that escapes me. An excellent write my friend. (Report)Reply
