' We All Suffer ... '

One Way Or Another
We All Must Suffer              Rom. 8: 22
Bear Agony To Endure
Pain, Suffering and Fear

One Way Or Another
Either As Strangers, Or Lovers
Either Deliberate, Or As Blunders
We All, Have To Suffer

… But, I Will Not Idolize
Nor Even Try To Rationalize
To All The Victimized
(and The Cries We Survive)

… Yet, One Way Or Another
We All Must Suffer
Terrible Consequences
for Actions And Offenses …

… Making Psychological Excuses
For Ignoble Abuses
Via Scientific Refuses
Igniting ‘I Can’t Help It’ Fuses

… and Pseudo-Data-DNA-Ditto
Human-Beings, ‘Really’ Don’t Know
If, Just Looking To Each Other
Or Sigmund Freud:  We Feud and Fraud Another …

But … I Don’t Need To Smell Garbage, To Know It Stinks
Or Become Crazy, To Know Idiots, Don’t Think
And I Don’t Need To Drink Poison, To Know I’d Die
And I Don’t Need To Ask The Wicked, Why …

… The Badness, Done
Analyzed, Under The Sun
From What I Understand
 Is Zigzag-Choice; Woman And Man

And, One Way Or Another
We All Do Suffer
 Popping Pills, In Pathos, Or Pit
(We Need To Climb Up Out Of It)

… So, I Don’t Need To Wonder
Neither One Way, Nor Another
Or Glorify Pain, Suffering and Fear
These Things (One Way Or Another) Lurk Near …

As We Land, On The Dark Side of The Moon
Locked In Doom and Gloom, Tomb (or our Room)
And One Way Or Another, We All, Suffer
Until, One Day To Another, We Choose Honor


           A Senryu I Can’t Take Credit For:

                  What Does Honor Mean ?
                  “ Do Unto Others, As You 
                      Want Done Unto You … “

                              Matt. 7: 12
