So it seems, but is it so?A Poem by Heather Cortiquestioning how and why we justify life the way we doIf beauty is in The eye of the beholder Why do so many women Wear makeup? Why is it so funny When the comedian’s black And the punch line’s Making fun of white people? Why is it that sex, when You’re single, is just for
fun Yet when you get married Sex can cause a divorce? If everyone is entitled To their own opinion Why is it that there are People who are politically
incorrect? How come when I was Miss
Hernandez I was considered Hispanic But now that I’m Mrs.
Smith I’m considered white? At what point do we Look each other in the
face And yell, "stop the madness?" © 2013 Heather Corti |
