ALL THIS SORROWING

What is all this sorrowing?
Warfare, famine, homelessness
is not just an illusion.
Who has not been beat down?
The world can obstruct all vision.
It can drive a lance through your heart.
What is all this sorrowing?
Who does not feel the weight
of the world with its burdens?
Certainties are uncertain.
Laws can be backward and
falsehood puts some people in charge.
What is all this sorrowing?
How can our hearts maintain?
Look at your peers and see the pain.
Our station in life is under attack
by those who thrive on adulation.
They live for the standing ovation.
Idiocies are the way of the world.
Why make the fools victorious?
Who crowned and raised these fools?
I can hardly wait for the end of this nightmare.
