Eye Cyst

So much sadness

So much sorrow

We have today

But not tomorrow

How is it we still turn our heads

While many live in fear and dread?         

Suffering

Pain

It all remains

But I ask, “What have we gained”? 

This bitter pill we know as Life

Is filled with malice, rage and strife

It’s like a sharpened blade

In Hades it was made

We skirt the wily riptide

Yet it manages to strike out  

Snagging us asunder and tossing us about  

Those on shore are forced to seek

Asylum from condition bleak

Is there a human rulebook hidden

Or is this book for us, forbidden? 

This age of Evil this age of Quark

Yet we’re drawn like butter

To the dark

Please someone

Won’t you hear me, please? 

I’m trying to save humanity
