WHY LOVE?

Unfiltered Challenge

By T. LichtPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Even black ink is racist toward white paper..

Even fire hisses at the sight of water...hate is inevitable

in this eye-for-an-eye world... why try...

even lightning breaks the sky... and clouds

ride the tears away because nature can't be meek...

nature will never give purple a rhyme...

or orange a pit... nature will always favor some over the other...

Why try to fight something that will never change?

The fox feeds our fur ...the frogs feast on flies

the lion will always be king.... life will always go on...

through pain and rain and rough terrain the mill is taught to grind the grain

Why pay the arm and leg to live this life?

in this eye-to-eye world why lend a helping hand

If hate is at the end of every fingertip...

and death is always the end game...

    So heavy and full of emotion. This hate is completely out of control these days especially. Beautifully expressed.

    Powerful piece! The helplessness is crying out here, and we hear you and see you.

    Life is a challenging endeavor. But someday, the lion will lie down with the lamb.

    Why fight something we can't control, indeed. No, we're not helpless, just not able to fight in certain ways.

    #This is just an exaggerated feeling of helplessness... I'm okay...😉
