Just something i churned out in a matter of minutes, didn’t bother much with subtlety or metre or form, but it encapsulates my worry and my frustration for the world about me.
If you knew someone who had all the answers, would you
Ask him all the questions you’ve ever had,
Like how a child wonders about the world so new
Or would you think that too dangerous ground to tread
It’s your choice really, but I hope you’ll wrestle daily
That whether maybe, just maybe
Maybe life has no meaning for me and for you
Maybe people are animals and the world is a zoo
Maybe we’ll never know what is false and what is true
Maybe love is simply just a strange taboo
If you had a chance to step out of the darkness, would you
Put one foot in front of the other and into the light
And embrace all that is brilliant and wonderful and true
Or would you think that blindness is the best kind of sight
It’s your choice really, but I hope you’ll struggle daily
That whether maybe, just maybe
Maybe it’s good to fall and take someone down with you
Maybe our leaders know better and we don’t have a clue
Maybe it’s best to hurt yourself when you’re feeling blue
Maybe love is simply just a strange taboo
If I could tell you three things, this is what I’d say
Look less within and more much more without
Get off the fence and jump into the devilish fray
Ask, seek, knock and leave no room for doubt
And it’s your choice really, but my prayer daily
That maybe, just maybe
Maybe we can end this entire hullabaloo
Maybe we should quit just talking and do
Maybe if it wasn’t just the universe but a personal You
Maybe Love should no longer be taboo
wow thats really good stuff.. and u make ur attempt sound so effortless..
we’ll never know what is false and what is true
- that feels so true.nice poem (:
It triggers a lot of thought.
So much thought that I’ve nothing to say about it because everything’s fighting to be expressed in words,but can’t be expressed in words.
sounds very yinxue. you should go read her poems someday. x__X in the rhyme sense. but anyway.
yeah i guess i’m those kind of do before i think person..? kinda depends on the occasion. i have no idea. hormones make teenagers crazy. charis can vouch for that haha.
if i could, i would, but i cant. at least not for now.
i can try my best, but it’d not be much. but at least i tried.
its really brilliant…the way u convey ur message…i dunno wad to say, except maybe…its all only too true but no one does anything abt it…everyone waits for everyone else to make a move…well..words cannot express these emotions…really a powerful one.:)…
