Difficulties

A good question

Why is it so difficult
to recognize the good?
If it were placed right in front of you on a silver platter

At a dining room table
Built on happiness
And good intentions
You wouldn't know what to call it

Sood? Dood? Tood?
This can't be good
Not for me
No way

Must be bad
Must be sad
Don't be cruel
Pushing all this bad in my face wrapped in fake good

You should be ashamed

Enraged
Tossing the platter across the room
Shouting
This is not good how dare you

Successfully turning good
Into bad
We're all good at that
Freakish experts

It's not good's fault
No it's us
We can't handle seeing it
straight on
Like the sun

Through this lens
that we see good
It looks like crap
It worsens our mood

In another circumstance
Another person
Perhaps an African child
Without a shirt
Would look upon this good

Eyes watering
Beginning to cry
He'd look up to the sky

And thank God
Or whatever he prays to
But not you
Oh no

You scoff
And b*tch
And complain

While the child
Is out in the rain
Praying for half the good
You had on the plate
That you just threw away

Why is it so difficult?

It is like twisting what one sees` and then saying one does not see. A fool in one hand and a fool in the other. Interesting. Feeling ..lone, banished o`er bei`n a ore`...hmmmm, indleshad` ben soon` ad`va doon soor. It`s old, don`t bother. But in lure you rhyme, seeming to pine, as silver light drips through the trees`, ...doon soor` ahn bin da`. Life is ...different aye? Still a good writ of self.
