What’s The Point
These whispers
Are just lies
Chasing us into traps
That we hope to understand
Holding on
Won’t do you any good
Giving up
Will get you killed
And when
There’s no use
There’s always a use in living
Only to find out
You’re going to die
Trying
To make impossible things better
It’s complicated
You must be a dreamer
And a realist person
With common sense
If you ever want to
achieve great things
So say goodnight
Just to wake up in the morning
Knowing everything
Will be alright
Or so we think
Because everything
Can be destroyed
By your own
Fingertips
Before you can even blink
Why do people care so much
For pointless things
Why do we try our hardest
For impossible things
And why do we harm everything we touch
By trying to understand
What can’t be understood
What's the point
Why do we all want to win in life
When we are gonna lose it all in the end
But I guess
We try to make the best of what we have
In our temporary home
Thinking good deeds
Will get us somewhere in life
But really
People change people
We try to be perfect
And end up destroying ourselves
We try to fix problems
And either make them worse
Or cause more
So
In the end
Are we actually winning
There are people who are “ successful ”
And those who are not
We say thAt “ winning “ is “ losing “
But what is the true meaning
Of those words
Why do we care so much
We run away from our problems
Thinking ignoring them
Will make them go away
We must work together
Not respond
But seek to understand
And make the best
Of a pointless
situation

Your points are well taken. Sometimes we take 2 steps forward and 3 back. Nicely done.
Great write
THANKS EMMA # For a wonderful poem full of common sense and female intuition ! We worry about BREXIT ~ You worry about TRUMP ~ but I guess if in ten years time we lokk back we will see it is a MYTH The heart of the USA is much bigger than TRUMP and the heart of the UK is much bigger than BREXIT. Always remember that GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE OF THE UNIVERSE ! And Heaven is better than this ! AMEN Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Love & HUGS ~ BRIAN
Thank you! Although, I must say, I feel as though I intended this poem to say we need not worry about the material things,. There are far more important things in life. So though it was not my intentions when I wrote this poem, yes I can see where you are coming from your perspectives.
