    Poem Commentary

    Another cute, quick poem that I thought of randomly.

    Why?
    "Why, mother, why can't there be peace?
    To keep us together, for the lives that we keep?
    Why, mother, why can't there be just love?
    To spring from the trees and loom just above?
    Why, mother, why can't there be no worries?
    To just take our time to finish our quarries?
    Why, mother, why can't people forgive?
    If they cannot, what's the point to live?
    Why, mother, why can't there be no regret?
    To our past, to the secrets we kept?
    Oh, why, mother, why can't we be happy?
    With nothing a bother, and everything sappy?
    Mother, oh mother, I'm not sure I can bear...
    To live in this world with the lives that we share...
    It's too much, all of this pain.
    Why, mother, why can't it wash away with the rain?"

    Why can't the world share in this view? For the greedy oppress those of virtue.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
