I Once Tried To Hold Water Within My Hand

I once tried to hold water within my hand w
I didn’t lose hope even though I knew that
They were slipping away every single second
It would have been better if I never knew that
It would slip like that, 
But once you know the nature of it
You don’t want to ever let go off it 
And yet it never seems to get hold of you
No matter how hard you try
It will find a place, to fall down where 
It will no longer have to fall
No longer attachment, 
No one to hate no one to love
Then I thought of life that way
Is it all about wining? 
Self satisfaction? Not a single room for compassion?
War, hate and racism?? 
The best way to judge our self? comparisons? 
Then I knew either something’s wrong with me 
Or wrong is what the present world iswwww
