With what were you afflicted
to become so conflicted?
Your sadness and confusion dishearten me.
I wish I could lift you to where you're meant to be.
To see you so unhappy tortures my soul.
What can I do to make you whole?

When will people stop bearing children
when they don't have the desire or capacity to lovingly rear them?

There's so much good in this wonderful world
but evil lingers as well,
often making it a torturous hell.
Life's undulations are more down for some
creating a path that becomes an increasingly arduous one...

Is the dream of equality possible?
Is a utopian society attainable,
maintainable?
When we're dealing with humans
whose condition will forever be fallible,
I sense that some distress will always be palpable.

Where would I be if I had endured your pains?
Would my situation be the same?
I'll choose compassion and understanding
and pray that my empathy
will give you the strength
so you can find a place where you live fairly happily
and keep hoping they everyone will enjoy
a preponderance of positivity.
