If I were a duck for a day

If I were a duck for a day

A Poem by Bela

If I were a duck for a day,

Would life be more simple?

Would I cease to feel separate?

Would I cease to feel anger,

frustration, despair, hate, resentment, jealousy;

The need to conquer,

The need to destroy;

Would I just go about

My routines of survival,

One with my kind

And all of creation,

Having an innate understanding

Of the simple balance of it all.

The confusion, the destruction,

The unaware, unconscious mind

Of the human being.

Free to roam, free to fly,

Free from the dysfunction & madness

Of the human mind.

Free to be me,

If I were but a duck for a day.

About
Been writing poems on and off since I was 11 or 12. Dabbling a bit, many should never see the light of day, but in the past couple of years my poems are a little better. 99% of the time I do not feel.. more..
