Without

 

Without sugar, coke would be bland,

Without rhyme, poetry would be haiku,
Without compassion, people would be ugly,
Without ideas, dreams would be dull,

Without petrol, KL would be traffic free,
Without women, men would be sages,
Without electricity, nights would be dark,
Without me, you wouldn’t have read this.

– S.T. Arasu

 

Was inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche’s quote ” Without music, life would be a mistake.”

Decided to write a short poem based on his quote. My first in many years.
