Life Could Be Easy

I never imagined life could be easy I’ve only seen the worst of it all. The starving millions barely living in war and famined lands. The deprivation of our young with gods of evil garnishing their walls. The daily slaughter rammed down our throats from a one eyed monster in our homes. Who said life could be easy when the worst is all we see. Our world of blue and green daily shrinking before our eyes and the creatures living within disappearing at an alarming rate. Who said life could be easy when all you’re surrounded by hate. Hate against a different colour skin, hate against a different religion, hate against everyone and everything. Who said life could be easy must be looking through blind eyes. 21 August 2009
