To Our Convenience Poem by John Dadzie

How is this possible?
That we live in a world,
a beautiful world made and i n it we are supposed to dwell.

But each time i look,
at our attitude, i tend to think,
this world was made to destroy us.

A world full of possibilities,
world full of impossiblilities,
a world full of prosperity,
a world full of poverty.

This world with it uncertainties,
tend to mould us,
shape our thoughts,
and advice our conscience.

How is that possible?
With a world full of possibilities,
it is possible,
why must it be that way?

We are compelled to follow,
we are compelled to adapt,
we are compelled not to follow,
we are compelled not to adapt.

I tend to ask why?
Why should we follow?
Why shouldn't we follow?
It is not rhetorical i need answers.

And who would be willing,
who would from the true part of the heart answer me,
and would not be condemned by society.

A society which preach peace but would like to experience war,
with all the examples they seem not to care.

Are our attitudes the engine that drives our society?
Or it is our society that shapes our attitudes and feeds our thought?

Would the world had been a better place if we were what we were?
Or if we were there when we were supposed to be there?

But i think i have an answer,
the world would have been a better place if we had given in our all and not to our convenience.
