I didn't feel a thing! Honestly!

I didn't feel a thing! Honestly!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

I didn't feel a thing! Honestly!
How Life would be
so much easier
if we didn't feel pain.

No more broken hearts
just the happy notion:
"Plenty more fish in the sea."

How Life would be
so much more positive;
goodbye to the fear of death
as fear itself feeds on pain.

That feeling of falling ten stories high
knowing fear and pain are gone.
People asked. "I wonder if he suffered?"
I replied. " Didn't hurt a bit,  I felt nothing before I died!"

To go to war and lose a limb
only to be asked how are you.
" Never felt better didn't feel a thing!"
" No pain!" "Truly!"

Yes! The Human prototype had its failings;
maybe turning the dial of pain receptors off
and increasing the love dial would have been
so much better.

Life would have had
a more positive outlook
for everyone.

Without pain there might have been a highly slight chance of no mercy to exist on planet earth
Though nowadays we see that mercy is a definite obsolete emotion

a utopia of no pain
exists in a heaven
where the soul will rest
among purity

I enjoyed your thoughts here Andrew
