Suffering

Contributed by trackiller2006 on Monday, 17th August 2009 @ 11:30:51 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



In the distance...just beyond our perception
There is a churning stormy sea of suffering in the mortal world:
Children being preyed on by men who regard them as things concieved for their pleasure
Women being knocked around by drunks
Drunks being preyed upon, in turn, by muggers, pickpockets, and prostitutes who take their money
Starving children by the millions wonder why they have come into the world only to raven endlessly for food and eventually perish
Paralytics who pray for death to release them from their nightmare traps
Lunatics in tiny cells who have done nothing to bring their lunacy on themselves
Children beaten by parents in America
Children in the Third World sold by parents into slavery
People of all types sunken into deep depression
Animals being tortured in laboratory experiments
Men and women bleeding slowly, slowly to death on battlefields for causes they can no longer remember
Mothers feeling their children die in their arms
People dying in fires set by arsonists
Elderly people sinking into senility and despairing of hope, sorry for a thousand mistakes
Undefered people working in fields until they collapse
People in sweatshops working as their hands bleed and their eyes burn...
Suffering
It's like a great discordant symphony ringing out from the world, like the klaxoning of a million cracked bells
But...it does matter
Despite how temporary humans are, what happens in the world really does matter
What the devils and the psychopaths and the greedy do, matters
Suffering gives meaning to it, suffering alone
Because diminishing that suffering
Modulating it
Turning it into something better
Yes, even making things just a little better
Is worth doing
