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
