    Dreamers Dreaming

    What in this life is fair,
    And who in this world cares?

    What is the use in trying
    When the world around us is dying?

    If there is a reason for everything,
    What is the reason for what's happening?

    Wh does one sing while another one cries?
    Why does one laugh while another one sighs?

    The cost of happiness is always pain
    Yet too many times it's all in vain.

    To be secure requires a friend
    But too few work toward that end.

    No justice, no reward for penance,
    No reasonable cause for human existence.

    The things that occur day to day
    Slowly are taking all hope away.

    Reality is insane, insanity is bizarre,
    But who really knows what they are?

    So much time is spent in wishing,
    Dreamers dreaming, minds gone fishing.

    Unwilling to cope with life so unfair,
    And who in this world cares?

    Nena, You have made many ppoints here that are worth thinking about. ANd as many say every day "who cares?" You have hit a sore spot in the human condition with this emphatic write. ginga

    Ahhh Nena, you surely don't accept all that negativity, I hope. Your poem does make one reflect on a lot of little, and big, things that somehow don't get thought about enough.................................g

    No, Gogant, I don't. I wrote this for a friend who was feeling down, to make her see how she was sounding. Sadly, so many people do feel this way.....

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
