Isn't It? (Free verse) by toward
isn't it funny how we live our lives
for the transient opinions of strangers
we must stay in sync
with what they might think
they're more important than any dangers
isn't it a pity how we turn our backs
on those who care for us most
they're more obligation
our loving relations
such a nuisance to play the host
isn't it a shame how our hope decays
how our dreams fade into the distance
we draw deep a sigh
we bid them goodbye
not offering even token resistance
isn't it a drag how often we turn
to our most cherished dream, escape
our worries we'd banish
our problems would vanish
sheltering darkness before us, agape
isn't it a pain how we can't sustain
the loving light that would shine on our souls
we can't find the drive
though it might keep us alive
it conflicts with our everyday goals
isn't it weird how these troubles of ours
spread in our lives like a cancer
we must spend our time
many more problems to find
there's no time to search for answers
isn't it a bother how time marches on
no opportunity to catch our breath
we meet new demands
there's no time for plans
no rest until we meet our death
