Skirting The Downside

Kurt Philip Behm

Everybody

wants to go

to Heaven

(but)

Nobody

wants

to die

 

Everybody

want to change

the truth

(but)

Nobody

wants

to lie

 

Everybody

wants to bend

 the law

(but)

Nobody

wants

to get caught

 

Everybody

wants to fall

in love

(but)

Nobody

wants  

— pain and loss

    A great contrast in this poem about how everybody wants things good for them but doesn't want to admit it. Well written Kurt

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    The contrast is well presented here, my friend. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
