I read something today that enspired me to write the poem "Maybe Without".
Is there life after death? Is there a heaven or hell? Why are we here?
Is there a God or creator of some kind. If not how did we get here? Why is there so much suffering on earth? What the heck is the point of it all?
These are questions a lot of us ask ourselves everyday. Are we supposed to even know one way or the other? Maybe, maybe not. Here are a few thoughts I have had on the matter.
Maybe Without
Without pain we may not appreciate a pain free day
Without sorrow we may not express joy
Without want we may not understand plenty
Without loss we may not accept gain
Without enemies we may not embrace our friends
Without freedom we may not fear oppression
Without war we may not strive for peace
Without evil we may not reward good
Without silence we may not revel in song
Without hate we may not know love
Without death we may not rejoice in life
Without darkness we may not see the light
_________FDR
Maybe we are here to experience all these things so if there is life beyond our life here on earth we will recoginise and embrace it, with joy, peace, and love.
