Is life really “just a bowl of cherries”? <br />Let’s consider all that’s not so merry <br /> <br />War in Afghanistan and Iraq <br />Two very not so merry facts <br /> <br />Economies on the downhill path <br />Un-merrily bringing on our wrath <br /> <br />Environmental problems mostly ignored <br />We can’t envision what our planet has in store <br /> <br />Hunger and starvation in far off places <br />Leaders who lie to us with straight faces <br /> <br />Price of gas, right through the ceiling <br />Transportation on foot, not too appealing <br /> <br />When with all these concerns I try to grapple <br />I’ve concluded, Life’s just a bowl of rotten apples<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-a-bowl-of-cherries/
