"What If suffering was a disease"
  by touchdapearl2


What if suffering was a disease
And peace was a cure
How many of us would be infected
And think of all the people affected
Think About how much we
fight
Search
For a cure everyday
Stressing
Working ourselves to the bone..
Working out
Eating right
Chasing a dollar for dear life
And to think you might even have added extra symtoms like....
Children
Pet's
Family and friends who feed off you
I figure some just lay down and wallow in there disease
Some chose to suffer alone
While other's go thru any means necessary to find atleast a week's worth of cure
Some of us use generic meds,and a few unprescribed street drugs such as...
Alcohol
Cocaine
Herion
Marijuana
Food
Cigs
Sex
These are just a few that will end your chase temporarily
Tho the mind tells us,you are healing
Naturally we want to believe that
We stand slacking at the same time do to these chemicals
While this and the other disease progress
And the moment we think we have gain a moment of clarity
The disease puts you back on mental headrest
And still the closer we get to recovering
The sooner life finds something else to feed on it
Be it your...
Mind
Body
Or soul....and sometimes if your really ill the chase itself just all seem cold ...
So how ill are we really
Life's makes me wonder attimes is suffering a disease thats really actually geneticly passed down
So ask yourself
How sick are youl?

Suffering is a Dis-Ease...it gives no rest to the weary and folks love sharing it through the misery of their own lack of Ease...Excellent scribe...

Suffering may very well be an disease, seeing as how its spread seems to be quite contagious, to say the least. I like how you put this write forth in a manner that asks questions to the reader, making us think along the lines. Does indeed allow one to delve into the whole 'theory' of suffering, in a way. Nicely done, Pearl!
