A Question

A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth.

    This is such a short poem, but is really powerful. It really shows us that even though we face hurt and injury we are alive and should be glad.

    Wow, I liked this- there's a good poem on AllPoetry which has a line relating to this poem, I liked this and can see this more clearly now It was concise and well written with a good rhyme scheme and imagery
