It's All Too Heavy!

Sometimes, life is
a state
of utter confusion.

I look around
and all I see is chaos
and total disarray.

How do you make order out of chaos?


There is order in nature,
but not in mans nature.




We draw lines on maps
separating countries- states- towns
and our own property
hoping that
our imaginary borders will keep
the undesirables out-
then we discover-
we are the undesirables.




We elect officials to govern us
that can't even get
their own houses in order.

Those that get caught cheating get pardoned.

others keep on lining their pockets at our expense.

Our factories spew tons of pollution out

into the air & water

and bury their timebombs

in our hallowed ground

and then, when cornered,

flee to relocate in some third world country

leaving us

to foot the bill.

Then our cities are destroyed

and we declare war on the wrong enemy

and turn friends to foes

and turn our children

into indiscriminate

killers of everything

that's not sanctioned
by the church,

and our senior citizens

gobble their medications

and pray for solace,

but instead

get mugged

at their Gods altar.

We are so busy ,

busy being busy.
Days turn to weeks;

weeks to months

months to years and

I never thought I

would have lived

this long,

and I... sometimes feel like

I can't continue.
