What should have been

Life should have been
A simple journey
The smallest things
Should make us grin

But what we have created
Makes us too hard to please
And to each other we are hated
It has caught like a disease

It started with just one
Deciding the other was wrong
But then the other disagreed
And brought everyone along

A brilliant sunset
Used to be enough
But now, what makes you happy
Is nothing but stuff

Love, just a little
Should render us delighted
But now it is brittle
And will not survive
