World Weary

jenny.g

Endlessly suffering souls surround us

Human experience exhausts and exploits us

The knife in our backs which benevolently breaks us

With well meaning wishes, no warning to wake us

 

The hate in our hearts does harden and harm us

Self preservation propels and protects us

Averting our eyes to atrocities around us

To safeguard our sights to the scenes which affect us
