Thinking Beings
The history of people is one of endless injustice.
The history of people is one of endless injustice.
and the struggle for justice unending.
It is a hard thing to be born human,
to learn about 'being' in body and mind--
that it is a temporary condition.
I doubt the rest of life's great forms
suffer as we thinking beings do.
They do not squander energy
justifying their existence--
they simply exist.
i try to 'simply exist'. it is no easy feat.

ReplyDeleteYou are so right here. I am a thinking beast. If I am to return at a later time, I think I shall be a slug.
