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.
