Easy Way

JBentley

 


Many examples about different ideas 
People always want to take the easy path 
Where better to start than with religion
These are destined to feel God’s wrath

They’ll tell you religion is the cause of wars
Far easier to believe God is made up
Refusing to see wars start for power 
The power hungry have to be crushed 

Advising on military and strategic matters 
Discussing life and death like it’s a game
Opining about what our military should do 
If they’d been there would they feel the same 

Whining and complaining about everything 
Saying government is to blame for their woes 
Victims of their own willful ignorance  
If they read the Constitution they would know 

The bottom line here is intestinal fortitude 
The uninitiated have too much to say
Our world would again be a better place 
If these fools stopped chasing the easy way

    A poem that speaks of the right way instead of the easy way. Well done

      Thank you. You always seem to understand my thoughts. We both appear to study living, perhaps that makes us philosophers. Lol

        You are most welcome. You realize that both philosophers and poets make no money
