The Problems of Living

Demar Desu

I don’t want to complain toooo much

I am thankful I see, breathe and hear

yet what I see, hear and think are affected

 

by what I feel on the outside

I don’t want to complain tooo much since

Truly I do love this world we live in

 

but the pain and suffering that others

went through, so we can gain freedoms

I don’t want to complain too much….

 

Here I go….

people would rather live life online 

people rather judge than get to know

people would walk over a starving man

people continue to lie even while knowing

people love fiction more than real life

people care more about animals than us

people rather talk to robots than us

people like to see others suffer

people old do not help the youth

people youthful do not help the aging

people do not trust each other anymore

people do not understand ethics

people do not care for justice

people do not help each other anymore

people are still fighting each other

people are still jealous of each other

people are still hating each other

people are still unaware of unity

people are putting money over people

people are putting status over people

people are putting feelings over people

people are putting material over people

people do not care anymore…

people are scared

people are gatekeeping

people are causing fear

people are causing hysteria

people are hurting people

people don’t know how to make friends

people don’t know how to love anymore

people don’t know how to comprehend

people don’t know how to listen

people… sigh… that’s enough

 

maybe I’ve complained to much

but God is my witness and I long for us

to do better…

 

but nature has never complained

we continue to take and abuse and take

still, God allows us to wake up again…

    Demar, it’s genuinely good to have you back, bro. This reads like a tired but faithful witness…naming the fractures without surrendering hope. The grief is real, but so is the desire for us to do better. Thank you for sharing this and looking forward to more. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

      Thank you so much bro.. it honestly feels good to write again... for a while I felt like I was on the sidelines watching you guys hoop and do your thing. Now I'm back on the court and I want the ball every possession LOL. Preciate you as always brother
