I’m Tired

Can it be

that human suffering

is growing

exponentially

each day I wake?

Could the suffering get

any respite

from this cruel world?

Could we

educate our young

to ease

the suffering

as

a gift to humans?

Why is it deeply ingrained

to cause hurt?

OR

Am I only seeing one side

or that I must

pass through this phase

to crossover?

Will we wake one day

only to glory

in the resilience

of problem-solving?

We do not seem

to practice peace across the

the span of my life ~

Must I accept this?

Must I stop chasing

Nirvana?

NO.

I know I am bone-weary-tired

yet I will arm myself with resilience

and flatly refuse to accept

this lack of caring.

I will go forward

and spread the

wings of tenderness

around the world.

I will find my bone-weary-tired way.
