What's All The Fuss?

by William S Cottringer — Read all 146 poems by William S Cottringer

A simple little poem about life's world of polarities.

Thursday, August 27, 2015

 Pray tell me,

What’s the fuss?

War or peace?

Love or hate?

Good or bad?

Right or wrong,

Happy or sad?

Success of failure?

It’s always been

Cloudy or sunny,

Calm seas,

Or fierce waves,

Warm or cold,

Windy or calm,

Black skies with stars,

Pale blue without,

Rainy or snowy

Or not,

Clean or dirty,

Or in between;

Nothing new,

Under our sun.

Just old

And retold,

Different versions;

So what’s the mystery,

Or not?

It is,

What it is,

Or not.Pray tell me,

What’s the fuss?

War or peace?

Love or hate?

Good or bad?

Right or wrong,

Happy or sad?

Success of failure?

It’s always been

Cloudy or sunny,

Calm seas,

Or fierce waves,

Warm or cold,

Windy or calm,

Black skies with stars,

Pale blue without,

Rainy or snowy

Or not,

Clean or dirty,

Or in between;

Nothing new,

Under our sun.

Just old

And retold,

Different versions;

So what’s the mystery,

Or not?

It is,

What it is,

Or not.

A song? Nothing new? But...a little bit of difference is a lot...
Tell that to the person who just lost the 100 meter run by one tenth of a second. Hmmmm...
Amen!

Like Frank Sinatra sang, "That's life." And isn't it wonderful?
