PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I love chocolate ice cream!

In my mind no other ice cream out there can beat it.

But wouldn’t it be wrong of me to dismiss all other ice creams

and of chocolate…make everybody eat it?

I love the paintings of Monet!

I love the impression in his work…the way his colors interplay

But wouldn’t it be wrong of me to make every other artist in the world

paint just like Monet?

I love to read a good mystery…

Love the action, the heroes…the foils…

But wouldn’t it be wrong of me to make every writer in the world

write like Arthur Conan Doyle?

I love the haunting sounds that emanate from the violin?

They take me places I love to go

But wouldn’t it be wrong of me to make every musician in the world

play with strings and bow?

I believe in the laws of nature…a higher consciousness…

some people call it God…

But wouldn’t it be wrong of me to force everyone else to believe

in the existence of my God?

There are people who say we need more God in our lives

of this I have no doubt

as long as we allow each person to decide 

which God they are talking about.
