Suffering

It pains so much
I can't even cry
I think so much
Wonder why

Children die
Missiles fly
Tortured lie
Leaders deny
Wonder why

God is watching
The rich are talking
The poor are hawking
Love is stalking
Truth is nothing

Justice fails
When truth prevails
Ideas of privilege
Silos of existence
Limited experience
Entitled opinions

White man's burden
Saving our world
Lessen suffering
Enlighten souls
Destroying dignity
Suffering holds

Today's messiah
Begging on road
Riding a white horse
Privileged roles
Measuring suffering
Dividing shores

Beat me
Cheat me
Don't forget me
Make me suffer
Release the pain
The cause sustains
Nothing in vain

When time ends
Clarity begins
In gas chambers
And haloed castles
Suffering remains

Beyond time
Thoughts exist
Beyond purpose
Meaning resists
Whispering sweetly
The Justice of truth
What you don't feel
Could exist
What you can't know
Makes sense

Why Create

Desire to create
Destined to create
Destroy and create

Lions smile
Lemons sneer
Tigers sink
Rabbits roar

In finite infinities
Nature creates
Symbols shine
Ideas are mine!

Creating forms
Competing stars
Delusional starts
Life's waiting room
Ending too soon

How many poems
Paintings and prose
Made with time
Yet we maintain
This crime

Once more
You begin the chore
Hoping for bliss
Feeding the tryst

What we gain
Why we loose
The next creation
Only proves

When the hoax ends
Every piece transcends

Why then
Do we create
Cars, poems
Movies and gates
As market demands
For office commands

When sense hits
We create bliss
Slavery past
Enlightenment lasts
Working solo terms
Creating soul firms

When fear hits
Death waits
Let creation
Stand still

Least you sell
Living years in hell
Creating to survive
Spreading the lies
Round the same wheel
Forever haunting peace
