Isn't it easy to smile, than frown?
To fight back, than give up and drown
Isn't it easy to love, than hate?
To create life, than leave it to fate
Isn't it easy to build schools, than army bases?
To live in harmony, than wipe out entire races
Isn't it easy to exercise, than be obese?
To eat carrots, than pizza and cheese
Isn't it easy to read a book, than talk ill?
To stay away, than take part in rumor mill
Isn't it easy to spread laughter, than terror?
To live and let live in peace, than horror
Isn't it easy to be easy, than tough?
To hug and kiss, than behave rough
Why then, do we insist on being difficult?
Can't we stand tall and proud, than sulk?
To fight back, than give up and drown
Isn't it easy to love, than hate?
To create life, than leave it to fate
Isn't it easy to build schools, than army bases?
To live in harmony, than wipe out entire races
Isn't it easy to exercise, than be obese?
To eat carrots, than pizza and cheese
Isn't it easy to read a book, than talk ill?
To stay away, than take part in rumor mill
Isn't it easy to spread laughter, than terror?
To live and let live in peace, than horror
Isn't it easy to be easy, than tough?
To hug and kiss, than behave rough
Why then, do we insist on being difficult?
Can't we stand tall and proud, than sulk?

Wow Vijay - I love this one - you make it sound so easy - and it is - isn't it? :-) Pls keep writing…
Enjoyed both te repetition and the contrasts in this, thought provoking
Yes, easy, and not uncomfortable at all! Nice flow, Vijay.
Thank you so much for your kind words :-)
I've always wondered, why make things difficult, life is so simple and easy, no?
Thanks for the beautiful words. There is a nice rhythm to it.
