DOUBTED LIFE


What if you're born to be sad, 
would you allow yourself to be happy? 
What if earth rotates counter clock, 
would the east meet west? 
What if utterance's an act of solitude, 
would you still get company?
What if tragedy becomes your faith, 
would you still know what love is?
What if part was erased in each memory, 
would you still feel regret?

If there can be positive life, why choose the negative?


What if evaporation occurs on the ground,
would the land be the heavenly sky?
What if smokes are made as poisons, 
would there be no smokers?
What if water seemed to be fire, 
would you choose to make a fire soup?

What if countries are connected,
would people carry the same face?
What he junk foods are real junk,
would it be given free?


If superman is made of steel, why did he fall in love?


What if Satan was born human, 
would if he met more friends?
What if Lupin III had died,
would thieves lord their hope?
What if your dog stole your wife, 
would they still be man's best friend?
What if humans are naturally evil, 
would you still do good?

What if there's no hell, 
would you choose to be bad? 


If faith really exists, why are there still choices? 


What if wall can speak, 
would there be no secrets? 
What if works are done free

would there still be politicians? 
What if there are no writers, 
would people be public speakers? 
What if pens are made as erasers, 
would this writing be fade? 
What if this is your last day to live, 
would you spent it with me? 


If life is a matter of choices, why accidents happen?

Firstly, the poem should be named after the best line here: 'If superman is made of steel, why did he fall in love?'
Some of these questions are great because they make you think. Some of them are obviously answered and seem weak. If you remove those obvious ones, such as 'What if there are no writers, would people be public speakers?', then you'll have a very strong piece here.

I like this poem. The many questions of life can drove us crazy. Better to roll with the flow and hope for a good landing. The questions were very good in the poem. I believe best to go forward and hope to be on the right road. Last question made this poem complete. Thank you for the excellent poem.

u asked if faith really exists y do we have choices? well isn't it pretty obvious? because if we didn't have choices we would be robotic! Robots I TELL YOU!!! and you ask if life is a matter of choice why do accidents happen? but what i'm asking is what does choices have to do with accidents?

some choices do cause accidents true let me rephrase that accidents happen because of sin

also u say what if humans were naturally evil? well, humans ARE naturally evil does anyone have to teach us to beat people up for us to do it? NO. Do people have to teach us to treat people kindly? YES.

So. Obviously your poem has some things wrong with it. And it's obvious that dogs don't steal wives.

Also smokes are made of poisons and some people who know that keep smoking because it's addictive.

And even people who KNOW that there's a hell are bad. People aren't saved through good works. They're saved through Jesus Christ.

And if walls could speak there would still be secrets. They would just be unworded secrets.

And if this was last day of life i don't think i would spend it with u. Your welcome.

A well written piece of thought invoking questions. I like the way you presented both sides and asked of things why and how would it be. A good piece to read.

Gahh, how did you think of all these questions, very nice. I love the poem made up with questions, and great thought that leaves a reader, or at least me, thinking. Awesome, very nice. Enjoyed.

Question after question fired at you and then 'Bang', the most pertinant one of the lot. Absolutley superb. The flow here is pitch perfect and the style wonderful. Although you raise some deep philosophical qquestions, you don't belabour them. In asking the questions the way you do, you make the reader a part of the process., removing thier detatchment and making them a living part of your work. Great job. I doft my hat at you.
