(dedicated to Sarwar Chowdhury) <br /> <br />Why cant’s we just live in harmony <br />And build a world full of peace and love? <br />Why do we all disagree so often? <br />Is it because we like a continuous argument? <br /> <br />Do our instincts encourage us <br />To nurture a little grievance <br />Until it grows up to be <br />A fully fledged feud? <br /> <br />Conflicts are interesting, engaging <br />And energizing, aren’t they? <br />Perhaps we’re enjoying the challenge? <br />Why we just don’t swiftly solve it? <br /> <br />(inspired by Debussy’s Cloches a travers les feuillies)<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/harmony-17/
