Trivial Thoughts

I think it shouldn’t be so

To be opinionated about opinions

To think ill of thoughts and be skeptical of speculations

To call norms values, and old practices traditions

And to write words in stone and stone like books

I think it shouldn’t be so

That God in the dictionary, is a being, not a concept

That cows are sacred and pigs are not

And philosophies are sacred cows

And some men are killed and some are martyred

And the thesaurus lists spirituality as a synonym for religion

Right next to theology, cult, myth and ritual

I think it shouldn’t be so

I think it shouldn’t be so

That food is expensive

And good food is more expensive

That there is good food and bad food

And that food is thrown in cafeteria food fights

And in trash for the fear of liability

I think it shouldn't be so

That there can be liability for feeding the hungry

I think it shouldn’t be so

That female infanticide is an issue

And ‘male dominant society’ is still a subject of discussion

That there are war crimes but war is not a crime

And heroes are chosen from wars

That equal is different from just

And ethics is assumed to be ethical

I think it shouldn’t be so

That some children and relationships can be illegitimate

That morality is subjected to paradigms

That sex is for procreation

And love does not have a plural form

I think it shouldn’t be so

That life is often compared to a journey

My life is not a journey

It is like orange colored play dough

I use it to make buttercups

Sometimes they don’t look like buttercups

Sometimes I forget how to make buttercups

Sometimes I get tired of making buttercups

I think it shouldn’t be so

That it is trivially called destiny.
